Ex-boyfriend leaves battered woman in desert
DUBAI • A wealthy British businessman has allegedly confessed to beating his former girlfriend and dumping her in the Dubai desert on the day she disappeared.
Mark Arnold, 42, has insisted to police that Kerry Winter was alive and well when he left her two weeks ago and that he has no idea where she is now. The missing women’s family have received a series of text messages from her mobile telephone saying she is alive and asking about the police investigation. However, they now suspect the messages were sent by someone else.
Arnold, from the Midlands, flew to Britain two days after Winter vanished on August 20. He returned to Dubai three days later and was arrested. Friends claim that Winter, 35, had accused her former lover of stalking her in the weeks before her disappearance and that she had been forced to move home three times.
Neighbours told police they saw her being beaten with a baseball bat outside her villa in the Al Barsha suburb. When they tried to intervene, they were also attacked and chased away.
The attacker then bundled a bleeding Winter into her car and drove off. The car was later found abandoned.
Arnold, a director of a leading Middle East design company, has been charged with assaulting Winter.
The body of a woman found in the desert last morning was not linked to the case, officers said.
Winter, an events organiser from Johannesburg, South Africa has lived in the Arab emirate for seven years. She had been with Arnold for five years.

who is the poor woman found in the desert then?
What a c*nt. I hope he gets beaten w/ a metal bat too.. oh and he should be left in the barren desert to die.
I hope he gets the death penalty!

hmm you're right... they should castrate him first and let him bleed to death and then hang him....
MJ Hanging him is too nice a punishment for him. He shud be beatedn up and left in the desert to die.

agree with you, FS..
Most of the mental disorders are the result of their early living conditions..and upbringing. Neglected childhood...physical torture by parents etc..can lead to such disorders..
like i said,.. i hope they hang him, if he's ever found guilty...
when someone experienced too much violence, etc during childhood, it does something to the brain,..
sadist ... do u think that some1 can be sadist becuase of the way he lived...atmosphere?or is it a mental problem that has nothing to do with how ppl. being raised?
A sane person can never do such things... he must be having some psychological problem...or he is a sadist.
having sh*t for brains,..that's what leads a man to behave like that,...
That's really sad when some 1 can't let go n gets so extreme with a person who he must've loved a lot at some point of time !!
I posted an update on the other thread about South Africans looking to help find her..
Apparently, she accused him of stalking her.
He says that he did beat her, but then left her alive and well near the desert.. (see other thread)
