Abu Dhabi boy rape and murder: Parents seek death penalty

The parents of the child who was strangled to death on the rooftop of their building in Abu Dhabi have demanded the death sentence for the killer.

The 33-year-old Pakistani man is on trial at the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance, accused of killing the 11-year-old boy after raping him.

The Pakistani boy, Azan Majid, went missing on June 1 this year, after he went to a nearby mosque to pray. His body was found the next day on the rooftop of the very building he lived in, on Muroor Road where he was living with his father and stepmother.

During the latest hearing on Wednesday morning, the boy’s Pakistani father and his Russian mother told the court that they won’t pardon the killer in return for anything but rather, they want the man to be executed.

“We are asking for a death penalty if he’s found guilty of murder,” the parents told the judge.
