10 workers face trial over death of four

abu dhabi — Ten Bangladeshi workers stood trial for causing the death of four people at a workers’ accommodation in Abu Dhabi.

The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance heard that the Asian victims, including two workers and two women, were found dead at the workers’ rooms in Musaffah industrial area.

Police had been notified about the incident after one worker complained to them about a very bad smell that emanated from the room in his neighbourhood.

Cops went to the scene and found four bodies that had been left there for many hours. After an investigation, police arrested the 10 Bangladeshi men in charge of the room, believed to have been involved in the murder. Investigations found that the defendants used their room for prostitution activities and were sneaking women into their room to have paid sex with the workers.

During investigations, some of the Bangladeshi workers admitted they were giving the roomout to people who wanted to have sex with their girlfriends or other women. But the workers also denied any responsibility for the victims’ death. They told authorities that their colleague, the main defendant, was the one responsible for the death of the Asians. Prosecutors charged the men with causing the death of the Asian nationals. The trial was adjourned until April.
