Verdict Set for Asian Worker’s Prayer-Time Murder
The High Criminal Court of Appeal has scheduled September 29 to deliver its verdict in the case of an Asian worker convicted of murdering his roommate during prayer.
The defendant was previously sentenced to life imprisonment, followed by permanent deportation, and the confiscation of the murder weapon—a brick.
Investigations revealed that the worker had planned the attack, repeatedly striking the victim on the head with the brick while he prayed in their shared accommodation. Forensic reports confirmed multiple skull fractures and brain hemorrhages caused by the blunt-force assault, which proved fatal.
Eyewitnesses testified that they saw the defendant holding the bloodied brick over the victim’s body, with one witness managing to wrest it from his hand. The restaurant owner where both men were employed also confirmed receiving calls from workers reporting the violent incident.
A forensic doctor concluded that the victim’s death resulted from multiple forceful strikes to the head and face, ruling out the possibility of a single blow.
