UAE Woman on Death Row for Husband's Murder Pardoned by Her Children
A woman sentenced to death for the murder of her husband in Ras Al Khaimah has been pardoned by her children, leading to a reduction in her sentence and early release from prison. The woman, identified as R.A., was convicted for her role in the 2015 murder of her 54-year-old husband, a diabetic lawyer. She carried out the crime with the help of her lover, H.M., and his driver, a Pakistani national. According to case records, R.A., who worked as an administrative employee at a school, began an extramarital relationship with H.M. Despite both being married, they plotted to kill her husband to begin a new life together. She initially administered excessive doses of insulin to her husband, hoping to gradually end his life without raising suspicion. When this failed, she added an anesthetic to the injection, causing him to lose consciousness. Believing he had died, she called her lover to assist in disposing of the body. Upon arrival, H.M. realised the man was still alive and proceeded to strangle him. He then offered his driver Dh10,000 to help transport the body. The victim was driven to a mountainous area, where his hands were tied before being thrown into a valley. His body was later discovered by a shepherd. Police investigations led to the arrest of all three individuals, who confessed to the crime during questioning. All were charged with murder and initially received death sentences. However, the woman's sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment after her children — the legal heirs of the victim — issued a formal pardon under UAE law. She was released after serving one year in prison. The death sentences for H.M. and the driver remain in place.

Indian troops shoot dead Pakistani crossing frontier
Indian border troops shot dead a Pakistani man whom they said had crossed the international frontier and did not stop when challenged, the Border Security Force (BSF) said yesterday. The shooting comes two weeks after arch-rivals India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire after a four-day conflict in which more than 70 people were killed in missile, drone and artillery fire. India's BSF said its troops had on the evening of May 23 spotted 'one suspicious person advancing towards the border fence', which lies beyond the international frontier in Gujarat state's Banaskantha district. 'They challenged the intruder, but he continued to advance, prompting them to open fire,' BSF said in a statement. 'The intruder was neutralised on the spot.' A photograph released by the force showed a dead man with greying hair. The recent conflict between the nuclear-armed rivals was triggered by an attack on tourists in India's Kashmir on April 22, the deadliest on civilians in the territory in decades.
