A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a four-year-old boy in Dubai.
The man, identified only as a fishing boat captain named as RR, was found guilty of raping and murdering Moosa Mukhtiar Ahmed last year.
He was convicted of killing the boy, originally from Pakistan, in a mosque toilet during the festival of Eid-al Adha in November.
The man is expected to appeal against the sentence in the next few days.
In Dubai death sentences are carried out by firing squad.
The court ruled the man must serve six months in prison for consuming alcohol before he is executed, reported The National, a newspaper in the United Arab Emirates.
"The killer showed no mercy to the child and so the court will show him no mercy," the newspaper reported Judge Fahmy Mounir Fahmy as saying.
