Man shot and killed in his car in Dubai

Victim was allegedly involved in the killing of a female in Turkey.

DUBAI // A man was shot at least seven times and killed in his vehicle, Dubai’s police chief has said.

Maj Gen Khamis Al Muzeina said during a Federal National Council meeting on Tuesday that the victim was allegedly involved in the killing of someone’s daughter in Turkey.

“The man used to carry an Iranian passport and then had a Turkish one,” he said. “He was shot in the head, with an additional two bullets in his body from Russian and Austrian guns.”

The suspects, one of whom carries an Iranian passport and the others carry Canadian passport, fled the country before the police could arrest them.

However, Maj Gen Al Muzeina said their identities have been confirmed and Dubai Police has relayed the evidence to the Canadian authorities. They are suspected to have fled to Canada.

“Regardless of what the motive behind the crime was, we cannot stay quiet,” he said.
