Brit Beaten to Death Bur Dubai Police Station

[oilydan]

OH dear.

Anyone heard much about this? The only prees I can find is in The Sun in the UK but, surprisingly, they normally publish before the Beeb.

If it is true somebody, somewhere has a bit of explaining to do....

Fist I've heard of it. Same age as me and from up the road where I used to live.
Does anyone think any kind of investigation will go on, or will it simply be brushed under the rug.

It's in the Wail as well.

More great press....

I know you shouldn't judge a book and all that but he doesn't look like your typical Burj al Arab guest.

The story doesn't seems to add up, even though I have no doubt the chap died in police station.

I expect there is much more to his arrest and time in jail that what the papers lead you to believe.

Police have confirmed that much already.
