In a second attempt, she used a stronger substance in his diabetes injection, causing him to lose consciousness. Believing him to be dead, she called H.M. for help in disposing of the body.When H.M. arrived and realized the man was still alive, he strangled him to death. He then offered Dh10,000 to his Asian driver to assist in dumping the body. The trio placed the victim’s body in his car, tied his hands to the steering wheel, and pushed the vehicle into a mountainous valley, attempting to make the murder look like a car accident.A shepherd discovered the vehicle and alerted authorities. The Ras Al Khaimah Police launched a full investigation and soon uncovered the plot. All three suspects confessed during interrogation.The criminal court sentenced the three to death. However, the wife later appealed her sentence, which was commuted to life imprisonment.
