Teen Jailed in Dubai Over Holiday Romance Dies at 19 in London Car crash Three Months After Release.
A British teenager who was jailed in Dubai for having sex with a fellow UK tourist has died in a car crash, just months after being freed by royal pardon.
Marcus Fakana, 19, was killed in Tottenham, north London, around 1am on Friday after the car he was travelling in failed to stop for police and later collided with another vehicle at The Roundway.
According to the Metropolitan Police, officers had pursued the car with flashing lights for about 60 seconds before “temporarily losing sight of the vehicle.” Moments later, they discovered it had been involved in a serious crash.
Marcus, who was a passenger, sufreed critical injuries. He received first aid at the scene but was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to hospital.
The driver, also 19, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to stop for police. He remains in custody.
Marcus’s death comes three months after his release from a Dubai prison, secured through a pardon by the country’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
He had been sentenced to a year in a maximum-security facility after being arrested during a holiday romance with a fellow British tourist.
The girl was under 18 at the time, an age restriction Marcus reportedly did not realise applied under Dubai’s strict laws. Both teenagers had met while their families were staying at a luxury hotel in the Gulf state.
