Man shot 7 times at Dubai Marina

DUBAI: Detectives are investigating a rare slaying in the Dubai Marina in which a man was shot seven times in the head, an attack not initially disclosed to the public.
The shooting, which authorities say happened May 4, apparently targeted the man as he sat in a car in the neighborhood of luxury high-rise buildings and beachfront property.
Dubai’s police chief, Maj. Gen. Khamis Mattar Al-Mazeina, said the victim “used to carry an Iranian passport and then had a Turkish one.”
He said authorities believe the man also was allegedly involved in the killing of someone’s daughter in Turkey, according to an account of his remarks published Thursday by the media.
The man suffered seven gunshot wounds to the head, as well as two other wounds to his body, fired from two different guns, Al-Mazeina said.
The report said the shooters may have fled to Canada.
Al-Mazeina discussed the attack with members of the Federal National Council during a meeting Tuesday. However, the shooting was not widely publicized until a video of his comments circulated later online.
“We cannot ignore this and remain quiet, no matter what the motive behind committing the crime is,” he said in the video. “The Ministry of Interior is working on the case. We were already able to identify those involved and we collected evidence that we will hand over to the Canadian judicial system.”
Al-Mazeina offered no motive for the slaying, nor did he name any suspects or the victim.
