Police issue clarification, warning about woman who cooked ex-lover in UAE

The woman took revenge on him after he sought another woman for marriage.

Abu Dhabi Police have issued a statement clarifying the confusion regarding the woman known for killing her lover and cooking him.

Media outlets had initially reported the woman had killed, cooked her ex-lover, and served him to workers in Al Ain.

This information, however, was incorrect and misleading.

According to an official source from Abu Dhabi Police, the woman did not "feed workers parts of his body after killing him".

Much was made of the story, with fabrications mixing with reality.

"Do not take or share information except from official sources," the statement read.

Such rumours have an effect on the proceedings currently taking place for the public prosecution's investigation into the crime.

People should not share stories on social media that are either baseless or do not come from official sources.

Propagating misinformation has a negative effect on the feeling public security and social well-being.

Spreading fake news and rumours on social media destabilises the security of the country and could cause losses to the tune of "millions of dirhams", according to a Dubai Police official.
