Under UAE law, penalties for murder offences depend on the circumstances Basically, the penalty for premeditated murder is life imprisonment or long imprisonment. If the crime of murder was committed while following the victim or insisting on murdering him, the punishment will be the death penalty. Also, if the murder was related to another crime - the punishment will be the death penalty. However, in sensitive diplomatic cases, the government may consider granting amnesty.
