Abu Dhabi appeals court confirms child rapist's death sentence

An appeals court in Abu Dhabi upheld a previous verdict and sentenced an Asian man to death after he was convicted of raping an Asian school girl.

Witnesses had testified in court that the defendant had raped the child inside the school kitchen despite his denial of the charges.

Defence lawyer had demanded acquittal of the defendant on the grounds there was no concrete evidence of the crime.

But a medical report showed the girl had been raped, prompting the prosecutor to demand the maximum penalty for the defendant, according to the Arabic language daily Al Khaleej, which did not specify the girl’s age.
