Pinoy gets 10-yr jailterm in Dubai for death of another Pinoy

A Dubai court sentenced a Filipino electrician to 10 years imprisonment for stabbing to death a male compatriot for sleeping with his girlfriend.

The Filipino, identified only as D.D., will be deported after completing his jail term. He was charged with premeditated murder for stabbing another Filipino known by the initials M.B., three times in the chest, Gulf News reported on Monday.

D.D. was reportedly drunk when the incident happened and that he had admitted stabbing M.B. after learning that he slept with his girlfriend known as N. although he denied planning to kill the victim.

"I accidentally killed him. I didn't intend to kill him. He was the one who came up to me, hit me from behind and grabbed my neck," D.D. was quoted as having said in court.

"I didn't even plan to fight with him, but he insisted on arguing and quarrelling with me," D.D. added. - GMANews.TV
