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.

RAK murder: Wife, lover convicted for killing lawyer, pushing car into wadi
A man, his lover, and his Asian driver were convicted in the murder of a lawyer after a calculated plot to end his life was uncovered by Ras Al Khaimah Police. According to records from the Ras Al Khaimah Correctional and Punitive Establishment, the incident began when the main suspect, identified as H.M., became involved in a relationship with a married administrative employee at a local school. Despite her being married to a lawyer, the two developed a close relationship that ultimately led to a plan to kill her husband, who was a diabetic. The plan involved the wife giving her husband a sedative and increasing the dosage of his insulin. When the attempt failed, she tried again by mixing a stronger drug with his diabetes injection. The victim lost consciousness, and believing he was dead, the woman contacted H.M. to help dispose of the body. Ras Al Khaimah Police disclosed details, stating that H.M. arrived at the victim's home and, upon realising that the man was still alive, proceeded to strangle him. He then offered his driver Dh10,000 to assist in transporting and disposing of the body. The three suspects placed the victim's body in a car, drove to a mountainous area, tied his hands to the steering wheel, and pushed the vehicle into a valley to make the death appear accidental. A shepherd later spotted the car and notified the police. Authorities launched an investigation and were able to trace the crime back to the three individuals involved. All confessed to the murder during questioning. The court sentenced the three to death. However, the wife successfully appealed her sentence, which was reduced to life imprisonment. She was released after serving one year in prison following a waiver by the victim's children.
