DUBAI: A Dubai court has fined a grieving British widower who allegedly arrived drunk to sign police paperwork to release the body of his wife. She had died in a balcony fall on their honeymoon.
Police claim Sean Nicholas Emmett, a former motorcycle racer, arrived intoxicated at a police station in late February to claim the body of his 27-year-old wife, Abbie.
She died the previous week in an apparently accidental fall from a Dubai high-rise hotel during their honeymoon. Emmett left Dubai last month.
The fine of nearly $ 500 for drinking alcohol without a license was imposed yesterday in absentia.
