Dubai rape attack on British Girl, Aged only 10

A TEN-year-old British girl was snatched by two sex fiends who tried to rape her in 
Dubai.


Dubai ... youngster fought off perverts


She had gone to look for mice in a sandy play area close to her parents' home in the Arab emirate.
One man grabbed her from behind as a second attacker tried to pull down her pants and kissed her mouth.
But the brave girl fought back, kicking out and screaming at the evil pair until she broke free and ran off. She was missing from her frantic family for more than two hours before she was found, traumatised and in tears.
Bangladeshi Abdul Aziz, 27, has been charged with attempted rape and has appeared in court in Dubai.
Aziz is said to have admitted to police that he and another man saw the girl on her bike.
He is said to have told officers he stopped her, then tried to undress her for sex but she escaped after struggling violently.
Police said the second suspect was still at large.
The girl's father - a British company manager - dashed home after being called at work by his anxious wife.


The dad rushed back and began scouring the neighbourhood with his wife and helpers.
The girl was found at 6pm in the evening in January, shocked and weeping, beside a security guard from the luxury complex where the family lives.
A Dubai court source said yesterday: "It was an etremely serious assault - the prosecution say there was clear intent to rape or carry out a serious sexual assault on the girl.
"She was very lucky to escape and very brave to have fought back.
"Her parents were frantic when she disappeared and incredibly relieved when she was found."
The trial was adjourned until a date to be fixed next month.

Man jumps to death off world's tallest tower in Dubai


May 10 - A man threw himself off the world's tallest building in Dubai, its developer said, plummeting to his death in the first suicide from Burj Khalifa tower.

The man, believed to be in his twenties and of South Asian background, jumped from the 147th floor of the 828-metre (2,717 feet) skyscraper and landed on a terrace on the 108th floor, local daily The National reported, but those details were not confirmed by the building's developer.

Emaar (EMAR.DU) said it had a recorded an "incident involving a male" at its Burj Khalifa site on Tuesday morning.

"The concerned authorities have confirmed that it was a suicide and we are awaiting the final report," the statement said. It gave no further details on the incident.

The man may have worked at a company inside the 160-storey building, the paper said, adding that police said statements showed a holiday he had requested was turned down. 

Family look to inmates


A website urging former inmates of Bur Dubai Police Station to share their experiences has been launched by the family of a British tourist who died in custody.
The family of Lee Brown, who was found dead in his cell on April 12, have set up the online portal in a bid to gather
testimonies from anyone held at the detention centre.
“We can’t begin to express the effect that Lee’s shocking death has had and the drive that we now have to ensure that the families of others do not have to endure some of the heartache and pain that we have lived through,” his family said in a statement.
Brown’s mother Doris, brother Steve and sister-in-law Susanne are campaigning for a thorough investigation in the UK into his death. They are worried Brown may have been assaulted while in custody. His body was repatriated two weeks ago and UK authorities have ordered a third independent post mortem be carried out following the two conducted by Dubai Public Prosecution and Dubai Police.
The first found no sign of physical injury while the second concluded Brown had suffered a head wound, bruising to his chin and arms and cuts to his hands.
The UAE Attorney General’s office said the head wound occurred when the tourist violently resisted arrest.
Brown was arrested at the Burj Al Arab hotel on April 6 on suspicion of assaulting a chambermaid. He died six days later. His funeral is due to be held tomorrow at the City of London Cemetery.
