One of the British editors at large who works in a prominent English newspaper in Dubai pleaded not guilty. The editor was blamed of doing murder of his wife. According to the police sources, Editor Francis Mattew beat up his wife to death with a hammer and leave her body in the pool. The slaying has shocked the United Arab Emirates’ large British expatriate population, to which Matthew and his wife belong.

The 61-year-old Matthew wore white prison-style clothes to a brief hearing in a Dubai courtroom on. He looked thin and somber while entering his plea. “Not guilty,” Matthew said. After the hearing, Matthew’s lawyer Ali al-Shamsi said they are looking to get a minimum sentence for his client.“There is a mistake in the autopsy report,” al-Shamsi said, without elaborating.

On July 4, Dubai police say they were called to Matthew’s three-bedroom villa in Dubai’s Jumeirah neighborhood. There, they say they found his wife of over 30 years dead and the editor told them robbers broke into the home and killed her. The Gulf newspaper in which the editor Mattew worked has said that Mattew is working with us from 1995-2005 and then became an editor-at-large at the newspaper. He was still with the newspaper at the time of the killing, though a Gulf News article on the court appearance on Wednesday referred to him as a former employee.
