Trio jailed in Dubai love triangle drama could be charged

Wellington, Jan 20 (ANI): A New Zealand man and a British woman, who were revealed to be living together in Dubai when they called police to arrest his former Brazilian girlfriend who was threatening them with a knife, could be charged with having illegal sex.

According to UK's Daily Mail, the jilted woman, named only as Priscilla, allegedly tried to take revenge last month by wrecking former Aucklander Toby Carroll's apartment, Stuff.co.nz reported.

And she even threatened him and tried to attack him with a knife when she caught him having sex with his new girlfriend, Briton Danielle Spencer, 25.

Spencer is believed to have locked herself in the bathroom while Carroll called police.

Police arrested all three and locked them up in Bur Dubai police station, where they spent Christmas and New Year, and said the case has been transferred to the public prosecutor for further investigation.

Carroll and Spencer are facing possible charges of having sex outside marriage and behaving indecently as per Dubai law, while the Brazilian woman faces charges of violence and criminal damage.

A spokesperson said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade was aware of the case and the New Zealand Consulate-General in Dubai had been providing consular assistance. (ANI)
