Dubai, Oct. 12: A 41-year-old Indian computer programmer has denied in court the charge of premeditatedly attempting to murder his ex-girlfriend, who claimed he stabbed her 27 times. According to a news report, prosecutors accused the man, identified only as MN, of repeatedly stabbing the 23-year-old Filipina, identified as MS, with knife and also attacking her two Indian workmates when they tried to save her, a Gulf News report said.
“I did not have any intention to kill her. The incident happened so suddenly and I did not pre-plan the whole matter. Besides, I was under the influence of liquor,” MN said, pleading not guilty before the Dubai court of first instance.
