Major General Maktoum Al Sharifi, Director-General of Abu Dhabi Police, said the accused told police he cross-dressed as a woman because he knew that the boy would not go with a man without permission from his parents.

After raping the boy, the suspect allegedly strangled him with a rope.

The police identified the accused within 48 hours of the crime. The forensic laboratory of Abu Dhabi Police found scientific evidence linking the boy’s murder to the suspect.
