a driver will be executed after Dubai's highest court confirmed his guiltiness of confining his friend in freezer truck then cold-bloodedly killed him by slitting his neck following a financial dispute. Mohammad Shehabuddine Haji Amir Hamzah, a 23-year-old Bangladeshi worker, will be executed soon after the Dubai Cassation Court upheld the capital punishment against him. "The court has unanimously confirmed the death sentence against the defendant," said Presiding Judge Mohammad Nabil Riyadh in courtroom. Last month the Appeal Court confirmed the death sentence against Hamzah, who convicted of committing a premeditated murder associated with theft. Prosecutors said the accused preplanned the murder after he deceivingly convinced his countryman to meet him behind the Gold Souq to resolve their financial dispute. During the trial, the accused contended: "I am not guilty. I did not intend to kill him. We beat up each other. I still cannot remember what really happened on that day because I was drunk. But we exchanged blows." Prosecutors said the defendant plotted the murder and bought a knife to carry out his attack. He was charged premeditatedly murdering M.Y. and stealing his mobile phone and wallet. Hamzah was additionally charged with threatening to kill the victim's cousin, who informed the police about M.Y.'s absence. Monday's judgment has become irrevocable.
