The body was found partially unclothed with his Quran lying beside. The accused was arrested within 48 hours after forensic evidence linked him to the scene of the crime. The accused was aware that the boy would not accompany him if he knew he was a man.
Azan's father is from Pakistan and mother is Russian. He has been staying with his father and stepmother for the last couple of years. The boy's mother lives in Russia but was visiting Abu Dhabi at the time of the incident.
