Sharjah, Mar 3: A security guard has spoken of his horror after finding two bodies inside his home after returning from a night shift at work. Bikram Taman returned to his flat in Sharjah at the weekend to find the blood-splattered corpse of one man sprawled on the floor and another man hanging dead from a ceiling fan in the same room.
“It was a gory scene. There were two dead bodies and blood was splattered all over the place,” Taman said. “I was trembling with fear when I called the police after making the discovery. I was so shocked to see the blood and the body hanging there. It was a horrific sight and now I cannot sleep or eat.” Taman said he shared the King Faisal Street flat with the man found hanging from the ceiling.
Officers from Sharjah Police who are investigating the incident believe 28-year-old Purna Sadola hanged himself after beating his 35-year-old uncle to death inside the flat. Both victims were Nepalese and had been living in the UAE.
A police source said they would be investigating exactly what happened inside the flat, but they were treating the case as a murder and suicide. The source said: “The killer and the victim belong to the same family and they fought for few hours before the incident. Our investigations in the coming days will reveal why the man killed his uncle.”
Taman told 7DAYS that he was forced to climb though a window to enter the flat at around 5.30am on Saturday as the front door had been locked from the inside. He said: “I could not believe it when I saw both of them like that. Purna never said he had any problems with his uncle. I remember seeing two beer bottles and a bottle of rat poison on the table in the room where I found them. I have no idea what happened between them. I can’t imagine Purna doing anything like this. He was a quiet person. I cannot stay in that flat now. I need to get away.”
Purna, who had a wife and daughter living back in Nepal, had been in the country for the past ten months and had been working as a security guard for six months. His uncle, who lived in Dubai, had arrived in Sharjah on Thursday to spend the weekend with his nephew. Both bodies will shortly be repatriated to Nepal.
In 2005, Mohammad Raziuddin killed his wife and four children in a Sharjah apartment before killing himself.
