@RosePetalsRose fucking hell that's disgusting. The ratio of responses makes it even worse. What is happening to the world? Were people always this nasty but never had space to show it?

Yes.

So her under-age daughter who was technically raped by an adult in Law should be accountable and punished for having sex? I cannot believe the vitriol directed to a Mother who no doubt wanted no association between the bloke and her daughter. The truth will out why he was a passenger in an expensive car fleeing police, but leave the mother out of it

No her daughter shouldn’t be punished, that’s as bad as thinking an 18-year-old boy should be punished for sex with a consenting almost-18-year-old girl. Both madness.

Just because the woman was ‘within her rights’ to report it doesn’t not make it an abhorrent thing to do that any half-decent person with morals wouldn’t even consider. There is no justification. At all.

I feel for his family but at the end of the day he made poor choices

He didn't deserve to die.

I can't believe some of the comments on here. Probably from judgemental people who think they are perfect.

I totally agree

It’s interesting that the other poster is assuming that your desired outcome would be to have the girl punished rather than what every sane decent person would want which is that no young person would be punished for a consensual relationship at that age

"Are there no limits to the "when in Rome" argument? If in a country where punishment for theft was hand amputation would we all shrug over it happening? Stoned to death for adultery?"

Well there are plenty of people in the UK who talk about sovereignty / having their country back and were willing to impoverish us all to make our own rules/ laws.

By the same token people in other countries will similarly make their own laws without interference from us. Other countries can lobby for changes, use aid as influence etc but ultimately if you choose to visit a country you are making yourself subject to their laws and justice system whether you agree with them or not

The girl also broke the law.

She was 17 and in a consensual relationship, but the mother waited until her Dd was back in the UK so that the boy could be prosecuted and imprisoned while her Dd was safe.

She may have had her reasons for not sticking the relationship (she was widely identified on Twitter at the time, she is a S Asian woman) but she didn’t need to use the UAE law to get him imprisoned to intervene in the relationship.

That was nasty and vindictive.

Over 400 people laughing at the death of a 19 year old. Its disgusting.
Facebook/ The daily express should ban every one of those trolls.

There are so many horrible people in this world.

Any attacks in the direction of the Morher who reported that her daughter had illegal sex in Dubai with, in Law, an adult are shameful. When any person, particularly when young, loses their life it is sad; to vilify a Mother who reported a crime, found to be proven, in these circumstances, is deplorable. Everything and anything is conjecture other than what the driver has been charged with, and that one person is dead after a short police pursuit.

The woman was in the UK what her daughter and this boy did was not a crime in the country she lives in or was resident in at the time. She choose to report the crime to the country the boy was in because the laws are different there, knowing full well that her daughter also committed a crime in that same country. She very specifically singled this boy out. If she cared so much about the crime being committed she would have taken her daughter back to be held accountable for her crime too, but she didn’t.

I find it very ignorant of you and others saying he committed a crime and was found “guilty” without acknowledging the fact that the country he committed the so called crime in also arrests non married women for holding hands with men in public, arrests women who are raped, arrests women for sharing a room with their partners just because they aren’t married without acknowledging the fact that this woman choose just to report him not her equally guilty daughter who was only a few weeks younger than him.

ThatWasJustANoise · 05/10/2025 12:05

@eulittleb831 I find your views shameful.

WeeGeeBored · 05/10/2025 12:16

I hope someone has made sure that this vindictive woman did not also punish her daughter for going with a young black man. I hope the young woman is OK.

I do not make the Law. You are completely ignorant of the Law.

If my view is that the Mother - for whatever reason or compulsion, religious, moral or whatever - was entitled to do what she did, whether I agree with it or not, is considered by some to be shameful, then so be it.

He had sex with a minor in a Muslim country. Try directing your comments to the UAE authorities or to other Muslim countries........... oh wait......

"The girl also broke the law.

She was underage by the dubai law and would not have been prosecuted. The UK would similarly not prosecute anyone under the age of consent as by law they are unable to consent to sexual activity.

This has been discussed on this thread previously along with the fact that the mother who reported the sexual activity didn't find out about it until she was unpacking the luggage and found contraceptives.

None of this changes that both of them were subject to Dubai law and justice system while in the Dubai.

marshmallowmix · 05/10/2025 13:17

Their names are all over Twitter and TT from multiple sources they are Indian.

Their photos are there too 😒.

That is the thing now with social media nothing is hidden…rightly or wrongly.

If she wants to live by Dubai rules then she could perhaps piss off there.

We could just as well if you don't want to abide by Dubai rules and risk ending up in prison there stay the fuck away.

FAFO in Dubai, lucky for him he didn't try that in Singapore - should UK laws and sentencing apply?
