A murderer described by his lawyer as “the most stupid I have seen in 40 years” has been sentenced to death by the criminal court in Abu Dhabi
The killer bludgeoned to death the neighbour’s maid, who he had been having a relationship with, after she told him she was pregnant and threatened to report him for rape.

The killer, who worked as a cook for an Emirati government official, lived in a villa near the maid.
The murderer was described so by his lawyers because he believed the maid's claims – despite the fact they had never had sex
The man lived in a villa near the maid’s place of work in Abu Dhabi. They met as they were depositing rubbish outside in dustbins.
A few days later, as the cook was working on the roof, the maid saw him and called him over to her employer’s house, who was away on holiday at the time.

He went and they had a “romantic time on the roof which did not exceed hugging”, the defence lawyer said.
A week later he visited her again and she told him he had made her pregnant while threatening that she would accuse him of rape.
The cook, who was described by his lawyer as the “most stupid murderer” he has seen in 40 years, believed her and killed her
He spotted a large stone outside the bathroom door and hit her over the head with it three times, killing her.

He then placed her body in a bathtub filled with water, and set the villa alight to hide the evidence. The villa was reduced to ashes, but the bathtub survived because it was filled with water.
He was arrested after he went to his employer asking him to help him flee the country
But his employer reported him offering to pay defence expenses and blood money.

The case had been on hold since 2010 because the court could not track down the maid’s family.
The judge issued the death penalty, although it was not recorded as the family had not yet been found.
