Dubai man killed after he tries to stop a sexual assault

Three men were charged with killing a Pakistani man in a fight which was fueled by alcohol.
The two Emiratis (both unemployed, aged 27) and a 21-year-old Pakistani (a carpenter) beat the victim up and stabbed him repeatedly to death in the chest and thighs.
One of them allegedly stabbed the carpenter while trying to have sex with him. The carpenter could break loose from the defendant after the latter got busy talking to another man (the victim).
They all denied a murder charge while one of them denied an attempted sexual assault at knifepoint and assault charges in the Court of First Instance.
A police lieutenant said they arrested the accused right after the incident was reported on January 9. "One of them claimed the victim was not normal when he came to them on that day. The claimed they tried to get him (the victim) away in vain before one of them stabbed him. His friends beat the victim up too".
The lieutenant added



the first accused admitted he threatened and assaulted the carpenter with a knife to force him to have sex with him. It was the same knife he used to kill the victim.
The victim's friend and workmate, a 31-year-old Pakistani barber, said they went after work around midnight to buy liquor drinks in Meydan Bani Yas, in Naif.
"We went to a bootlegger but we did not buy from him because we did not agree on the price.  Later, we bumped into two men who speak Arabic and the victim asked them whether they had any alcohol to sell but they all beat my friend up".
The victim added some of the attackers had knives and they stabbed his friend several times until he collapsed.
 The attackers then fled the scene and the victim died on the spot.
The witness was standing so close to the place where the incident happened and he identified the men involved at the police station.  
The trial has been adjourned to April9.
