A criminal court in Sharjah sentenced an Asian man and his wife to death in their absence after they were convicted of murdering his other wife.
Police found the victim’s body buried underground in their house in Sharjah after relatives reported her absence for a long time.
Investigations led to evidence that the husband and his second wife murdered the woman and fled the UAE to their home country.
Newspapers said police found the victim’s body, which was stabbed many times, buried underground in a low-cost house in the emirate with the help of police dogs.
