Former UAE International Fayez Juma’a Khamis along with his two partners sentenced to death
Former UAE international, Fayez Juma’a Khamis, along with his two partners, has been sentenced to death along with his two partners after being found guilty of a murder incident. It was confirmed that the trio was involved in a neighbour’s murder some three
years back. Khamis’ brother, Mousa, was also involved in the incident and will face the same fate as that of his brother.
It was previously speculated that the 30-year-old killed a young man while he was on a visit to a local shopping mall along with his two partners. As the trio was heading home, a man approached the footballer which eventually ended up in a fight. Juma'a
Khamis, along with his fellow footballers, showed some resilience at first but attacked the lone person with the situation getting out of hand. Whether by intention or by a mistake, the man was shot dead by one of the three, but the entire trio has been sentenced
to death for their involvement in the incident. Mohammed Najib is the third person involved in the incident.
The trio was initially handed one-year prison sentences along with Dh 10,000 fine as the police failed to present any solid evidence against the three. However, the weapon used in the murder had fingerprints on it but it wasn’t produced in front of the court,
resulting in the culprits avoiding death penalty.
With the death sentence now been confirmed, it could only be the President, Sheikh Khalifa, or the ruler of Sharjah, Sultan bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi, who can file a pardon in favour of the players. If the duos decide against filing a pardon, then the trio
could end up losing their lives.
On Tuesday, the Federal Supreme Court received a second appeal against the players which proved that the trio possessed swords at the time of incident. The court also ruled that the men planned an attack against the victim who was eventually shot dead. Despite
the trio denying all allegations, the final verdict has already been given against them.
