Dubai: A man has been jailed for three years for kidnapping his countryman from the beach and raping him in a friend's villa in Umm Suqeim area.

The Dubai Court of First Instance recently jailed the 23-year-old unemployed Emirati man, K.M., for kidnapping another 21-year-old, A.S., by deceiving him and raping him in the villa of the friend.

The friend, a policeman, A.I., 20, also faces three years in jail for aiding and abetting K.M. by providing him with lubricant while he raped A.S. The policeman has also been incriminated of threatening to kill A.S. and his parents in case he reported to the police of the rape.

Police are still searching for an Emirati suspect, identified in records as H., who is absconding and is involved in the case.

The claimant told prosecutors that he was playing cards with his friends on Jumeirah Open Beach before the incident took place.

When K.M. and A.I. appeared in court, they pleaded not guilty and refuted their charges. Prosecutors accused K.M. and H. with beating A.S. then forcibly undressing and having sex with him against his will. Prosecutors charged A.I. with aiding and abetting K.M. and H. by providing them with a lubricant and allowing them to rape A.S. in his villa.

According prosecution records, K.M. and H. lured A.S. to ride with them to A.I.'s residence to get a car. Then they attacked him in a bedroom where they undressed and raped him.

A.I. and K.M. were additionally charged with threatening to kill A.S. and his family if they reported to the police.

"H. arrived along with K.M., who asked me to ride with them because they needed to bring a car from A.I.'s house. They picked A.I. from Safa Park and drove to his house. Suddenly they forced me out of the car. They pushed me into a bedroom where they beat me and undressed me. A.I. handed them a lubricant. K.M. and H. raped me consecutively. They threatened to kill my family if I reported the police," A.S. claimed to prosecutors.

Prosecution records said A.S.'s brother noticed bruises and injuries on his brother's body and convinced him to report to the police.
