A 41-year-old man has been arrested in St Petersburg, Russia, in connection with the suspected murder of a 25-year-old Russian flight attendant in Dubai.
The victim was found stabbed at least 15 times in a luxury hotel room in Dubai, with her death believed to have occurred between 17 and 18 December.
Investigators suspect the man was the victim's former partner and had been stalking her in Dubai prior to her death.
Dubai police reportedly identified the suspect using hotel CCTV footage, leading to his arrest in Russia on 20 December, where he was charged with murder.
The suspect has been remanded in custody until 18 February, with Russian and UAE law enforcement agencies cooperating on the ongoing investigation.
