Sharjah Police have solved a murder case within 12 hours of identifying the victim of the crime.

Investigations kicked off after a waste disposal company found dismembered parts of a human body dumped in a massive waste field in the emirate.

The victim - an Asian man in his forties - was identified after Sharjah Police officials scanned through nearly 1,500 tonnes of waste for clues. 

Further probe revealed that the victim worked as a driver in a local firm and was murdered by his colleague over a personal dispute. 

Following interrogation, the perpetrator of the crime admitted to the crime and was arrested.

The case has been forwarded to the Public Prosecution.
