According to the court records, the victim SJA, 26, Bangladeshi painter testified that he visited his cousin at his accommodation in Naif to discuss a financial issue.

“I received from MSD Dh11,500 and promised him to provide him a job opportunity and a visa. I could not fulfill my promise nor could I return the amount because of financial difficulties. As I told him that, the latter got angry and pulled a knife that was near the door and stabbed me thrice in the chest, on my face and my hand. I collapsed and he ran away,” he testified.

The victim was rushed to the hospital.

Forensic reported that the stabs were fatal and the victim could have died should he was not rescued on time.

i guess the report means the stabs were aimed

.at vital organs,

.with the intent to kill.

not in self defense, or aimed at limbs to cripple the target.

Well I don't really see any mistake in the usage of the word 'fatal' here. I feel there are different shades of meanings of this words that could be implied.
