A 26-year-old Indian worker in Dubai has been jailed for five years for beating another Indian to death with a wooden rod while he was inebriated, according to a media report. The victim and his 30-year-old countryman were drinking liquor when the accused joined them in December last year. This irritated the victim who beat the accused with a wooden rod. The Dubai Court of First Instance on Thursday convicted the accused of beating the victim to death and drinking liquor. Prosecutors said the accused battered the victim on the back of his head and caused his death without intending to do so.
