2010 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

DUBAI — Two UAE nationals — Ali S. A. (38) and Abdullah M. S. (30) — were sentenced to life imprisonment for shooting dead a Sudanese national Abdel Monaim M. Y., who claimed to be bullet proof, was shot in the stomach and the head, resulting in his death.

The court found them guilty of premeditated murder.

The history of the case dates back to November 1998 when the two defendants persuaded the victim to come with them to a deserted area at Al Rawyya. The first defendant fired at the victim on his chest from a pistol in his possession, while the second shot him in the head, resulting in his death. The pair left him lying on the ground and ran away. The coordination and cooperation between the police departments and the Emirates Telecommunications Corporation had contributed effectively in arresting the murderers.

This happened when the phone calls the victim received in his mobile telephone from the prime suspect were tracked. The first suspect had called the victim four times for he knew him. The prime suspect asked the victim that he wanted to meet and ask him about some matters related to magic and sorcery, which the victim claimed he knew. The two defendants met the victim at Al Hamriyya, and took him in the car of the second defendant to a deserted area, where they shot him dead.

The first defendant, when interrogated, confessed to the conversation made between them before shooting. He said: “We had asked the victim when we pointed the pistol at him whether he was a superman, in the sense that he would not be affected by gunshots.” The two men said they asked him before pulling the trigger that if he was impregnable, they would shoot him. “The man nodded, saying ‘yes’, and I first shot him in the abdomen, but he pretended he was not hurt,” the first defendant said. The second defendant fired at him on the head, and he fell dead. Later, the pair left him dead and ran away.

The Court of First Instance sentenced the first defendant, who was present, to a life-term in jail and the same sentence was handed to the second defendant in absentia. The lawyer of the defendant Ali Al Haddad appealed against the verdict yesterday. The majority of opinions called for penalising the two defendants to life imprisonment. Al Haddad said there was still the Court of Cassation to contest the verdict.

Definitely Toss: No Self-Selection
Sounds like murder to me. Based on the source, it's possible that the killers had other motives. Regardless, there's no self-selection here. Thanks just the same, Luis, we DO appreciate all submissions!
