- BY AGHADDIR ALI Staff Reporter

Investigat­ion by the Ras Al Khaimah Police has revealed that the death of an Arab worker which was first reported as a suicide was actually a case of murder. Colonel Abdullah Al Munkis, director of the Criminal Investigat­ion Department, said the police identified and arrested the suspect after the body was found with a poisonous substance around the mouth at a farm on Friday to make it appear as a suicide.

The arrested Arab suspect, who lived with the victim, confessed he killed the latter because he spoke badly of him.
