The Sharjah Shariah Court on Sunday sentenced seventeen Indians to death for killing a Pakistani and injuring three others in January last year.
This followed a fight over control of the illegal liquor business in Al Sajaa area of Sharjah.
Judge Yousuf Al Hamadi sentenced the 17 men to death after all evidence, including DNA tests, showed they had knifed the Pakistani to death. The victim died of his wounds after he was stabbed repeatedly on various parts of the body. He also suffered brain damage, police said.
The suspects had attempted to kill three of the victims compatriots, but they managed to escape their attackers and were rushed to Kuwaiti Hospital for treatment.
The convicted men are aged between 17 and 30 years.
According to the three Pakistanis who survived, 50 people set upon them with knives on that fateful day last year.
Police rushed to the area and arrested the 17 Indians, who allegedly led the attack. The others were let off due to lack of evidence.
During court hearings, all the suspects confessed they had fought with and murdered the victim. Forensics reports and DNA tests also proved their role in the crime.
