A group of seven men stood trial accused of beating a woman to death when they broke into her home to steal her money and gold jewelleries.
The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance heard that the Asian men entered into the woman's house in Abu Dhabi at night for stealing.
The thieves found the woman awake and grabbed her. And when she tried to resist them from taking away her belongings, the men attacked her.
The men kicked the woman and beat her up badly and left her motionless on the floor. The men then took away the woman's cash and gold jewelleries from her house and fled the scene.
The police were informed about the incident after the woman was found dead.
The force later arrested the suspects and during interrogation by the public prosecution, the men admitted to attacking the woman but denied intentionally killing her. The men said they broke into the victim's house to steal but not to kill her.
Prosecutors charged them with murder and theft.
The men denied the charges when they appeared in court.
The judge asked the defendants to appoint a lawyer to represent them in the future hearings.
Court said it will also contact the woman's family to see if they pardon the killers in return for blood money.
The trial was adjourned until April 18.
