Dubai: An Indian in the UAE has allegedly stabbed his wife to death with a sharp-edged weapon over suspected infidelity outside her office here, media reports said on Friday.
She was stabbed three times with a knife in the UAE's most populous city, Khaleej Times reported.
The 44-year-old man, who was in Dubai on a visit visa, killed his wife over suspicion that she was cheating on him, the Court of First Instance has heard.
According to public prosecution records, the man, who is standing trial on a premeditated murder charge, went to his wife's workplace in Al Quoz industrial area on September 9 last year.
He and his wife had a heated argument after he confronted the woman's boss over a message he had sent to her, according to the report.
When they went outside the office, his wife told him that he embarrassed her in front of the manager. The man then took out a knife and stabbed her three times, killing her on the spot before fleeing, the report said.
A driver saw the victim's body and alerted the police.
The police said: "The woman was lying lifeless between the cars in the parking lot. She had deep stab wounds in her abdomen and left thigh. The crime weapon was found near her body".
The Indian manager, 32, told the prosecutor that he could not reach the victim on the incident day, the report said. Public prosecution records show that the man, after committing the crime, took the metro to flee but was arrested later.
The woman is survived by her two daughters in India. The trial will continue on March 2.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
