 A 50-year-old person was tortured to death after being kidnapped, it has emerged.

 Abdullah Al Aradi was reportedly abducted by strangers in mysterious circumstances before being killed and abandoned in a swimming pool located in an under-construction property in Um Al Hassam.

 It's reported that the victim was in his house when a group of strangers knocked on the door, according to a family member.

 "They asked him to go with them somewhere. He informed his family that he would return in a few minutes and went with them," a source revealed to DT news on condition of anonymity.

 The assailants reportedly attacked the victim on his head and chest with a sharp object, causing fatal injuries. Then they reportedly tied his hands and legs before throwing him in the swimming pool.

 Al Aradi is survived by his wife and two children ( a son and a daughter), both of whom are aged below 17.  He was buried after a funeral held yesterday afternoon.
