DUBAI: A security guard is awaiting the court’s verdict in a case in which he knifed his Sri Lankan ex-lover on July 6 last year with an intention to kill her.

“Why I be poisoned and she be alive,” a police major quoted the suspect as stating in broken English. According to a Dubai Health Authority (DHA) report, he had allegedly consumed dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), an insecticide, before he attacked the maid.

An Indian JKK, 32, on Tuesday denied the accusations before Judge Saeed Mohamed Barghuth at the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance.

He is accused of mercilessly stabbing the maid, identified as NBA, 40, twice in her stomach and once in her arm as she was striving to save herself by grabbing the knife.

The victim testified: “JKK wanted to avenge because I had denounced his love and refused marrying him some six to seven months ago. Since then he had been threatening to kill me and commit suicide.”

JKK allegedly kept on meeting NBA at the nearby supermarket or the bus stop where he threatened her. NBA quoted JKK as saying: “I will kill you, I must make sure that your life comes to an end.”

NBA added that at around 11.30pm, she was at the apartment of her employer at Sharaf Al Din building in Al Nahda-1 area. She had walked out to sleep in a nearby apartment where the employer’s mother was staying.

Meanwhile, she decided to leave the apartment to drink some water.

“As I opened the door, I was confronted by JKK. He pulled out a knife from a laptop bag he was carrying and immediately stabbed me while shouting ‘I will kill you,’” testified NBA.

JKK pushed the knife into NBA’s stomach from the left. “I grabbed the knife but he pulled it and jabbed it into my arm. With all my might, I caught hold of the knife. The residents on the eighth floor opened their doors to intervene as I was screaming for help,” she said, adding JKK abruptly fainted.

Major Juma Suhail added: “Blood was streaking down the elevator of the eighth floor.

“I found JKK lying on the floor with the blood-stained knife just one metre from him besides an emptied juice sachet. He was being attended to by paramedics,” he said.

“On questioning JKK over the issue, he narrated his admiration for NBA and that he had already converted from Hinduism to Islam for the sake of marrying her,” explained Major Suhail.

“He told me that he had poured an insecticide into the sachet before he approached NBA to request the reason for breaking their love affair.”

However, when NBA declined his request, JKK drank the insecticide and asked her why she could not marry him.

“JKK lost his mental balance and attacked NBA before he could faint,” Major Suhai said. (Source: Gulf Today)
