The man found guilty of raping and killing his nephew in 2017 was sentenced to death.
The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court found the man guilty of raping and murdering 11-year-old Azan Majid Janjua, whose body was found on the rooftop of the building in the UAE capital where his family lived.
The court also sentenced the man to pay blood money to the boy’s relatives.
