Mysterious murdered millionaire
A fatal stabbing in Naif is as absurd as it is tragic: why would anyone withdraw one million dirhams and go around with it in a plastic bag, armed only with a pair or scissors?
"A man was stabbed to death outside his apartment with his own scissors, a court heard yesterday. The victim was allegedly attacked in the Naif area in December as he walked home from a money exchange centre carrying dhs1 million in a plastic bag."
Hadn't this man heard of cheques or electronic money transfer? Or monetary transport guards?
And what kind of business counts out Dh1 million to a character who shoves it into a plastic bag, without even enquiring if he would like some sort of escort?

Maybe I've lived here too long, but this story really stinks of "black" money.

A financial institution that caters to criminal organizations? Any normal place would ask for the "source of funds"; it's too large a sum.
If you obtained the money through nefarious means, I really doubt you'd want to go about things the legal way.
Besides, he must've been the Money Picker Upper or something; some gullible, naive guy trying to make a quick buck, which probably explains the scissors...it's still moronic though.
If I keep going, this is going to sound like a mafia film.
But I think it's pretty possible.
(I'm going to submit this article for the Darwin Awards).
of course, he could have been on his way to purchase an escort...
looks like an "inside" job
I can not recall if it was in the Khaleej Times or in the Gulf News but back in my UAE days I saw the following headline:
Indian Butchers Selling Their Family Jewels.
Needless to say I had to read further. Well, some muni in India had banned the slaughter of cows and the butchers in that municipality (must have been a large number of non-Hindus living in this place) depended on that business. Well, they broke out their savings which were in gemstones and gold and were selling those off. I am really upset with myself I don't have the clipout of that. I have a file with newspaper clippings from my UAE days.
Anyway what's the point? Well, quite a few people in the UAE barely trust money let alone checks and other similar monetary instruments. One reason for all the gold shops.
thats just explains everything , so right! good work sherlock
Ever heard of easy COME easy GO!!!!!!!!!!!!Well know you know
