A Dubai electrician was jailed for ten years last week after stabbing to death his co-worker in July due to his "smelly feet".
The 22-year-old electrician, originally from Pakistan, was sitting with his colleague in an air-conditioned room to cool down on one hot UAE summer day.
One electrician decided to take a short nap near him and rested his feet near the assailant's face. When the man asked him to move his feet, his colleague refused.
An argument escalated into a fist fight, which other co-workers tried to halt.
Shortly after, the assailant went to a nearby construction site where both of them worked and grabbed a razor. CCTV footage showed him approaching his victim with the blade behind his back before stabbing him three or four times in the neck.
The co-worker was rushed to hospital in a critical condition where he died days later on 31 July after slipping into a coma.
The assailant was sentenced to five years in prison, but earlier this month it was doubled to 10 years because a court ruled he had intended to kill his co-worker.
The assailant will be deported once he completes his prison sentence.
