A man locked a woman in his home, tried to rape her and burned her with hot shisha coal after inviting her over for a drink, a court has heard.
The jobless Emirati, aged 37, is on trial accused of attempted rape, assault, and imprisoning and threatening the Kyrgyzstani tourist.
He admitted assault and throwing a bottle of alcohol at the woman but denied the other charges. Dubai Court of First Instance was told the woman met a male friend, also a Kyrgyzstani, at a hotel on January 18 and got talking to the accused.
He invited the pair to his home in Muraqabbat for a drink. The woman testified that her friend left his house at 2am and she stayed. She said it was then that the Emirati grabbed her and locked the door. She said: “He was drunk and slapped me before forcing me to drink alcohol. He tried to rape me but I resisted him. He told me that I will be his wife for the week. Afterwards he said he would kill me and hide my body”. During the assault he removed her top and pressed a hot shisha coal against her stomach, she said.
The accused eventually fell sleep. The woman said she found her phone and called Dubai Police, who arrived at the locked house, broke the door down and arrested the man.
Judge Fahad Al Shamsi adjourned the trial on Sunday until next month, when the court will hear from the man’s defence lawyer.
