A video footage shows the killer and a rope used by the Pakistani man to strangle the 11-year-old boy.

The clip shows him walking with the child while disguising as a woman to the rooftop of a building in Abu Dhabi where he attacked him.

The Abu Dhabi Police exclusively released the video footage to Abu Dhabi Al Emarat’s current affairs show Oloum Al Dar which showed the video on Saturday. The footage was shared on Twitter.

The short video shows a person dressed as a female in abaya while carrying a bag as he enters the building. He walks behind the boy and enters with him in the elevator.

The video also shows a yellow rope that was used by the Pakistani man to strangle the child to death.

 The boy identified as Azan Majid went missing on June 1, after he went to a nearby mosque to pray, according to his relatives.

 His body was found the next day on the rooftop of the building on the Muroor Road where he was staying with his father.
Abu Dhabi Police on Monday revealed that their initial investigations suggested that the boy was sexually abused and strangled to death.  They arrested the 33-year-old Pakistani national suspected of carrying out the murder after raping the child.

Police also revealed that the man cross-dressed to carry out the attack on the boy.

The Pakistani had lured the boy into going with him to the rooftop of a building where he raped him before strangling him to death using a rope.

 Police said in a statement released on Tuesday evening that the boy’s family knew the Pakistani man.

Major General Maktoum Al Sharifi, Director-General of Abu Dhabi Police, said the Pakistani confessed to them that he disguised as a woman to lie to the boy because he knew his parents always told him not to go out with strangers.

Police said the suspect had planned to attack the boy.

And after raping and murdering the boy, the man fled the scene. But the force was able to identify him and had him arrested.

The case is now at the public prosecution.
