An American mother was stabbed to death in an Abu Dhabi mall's bathroom during a fight with a fully-cloaked attacker, police said.
The 37-year-old mother to twins was left fatally wounded by a sharp tool inside of the Boutik Mall on Reem Island Monday afternoon while her yet to be identified attacker managed to flee.
Surveillance video capturing the suspect's escape shows the individual wearing a black abaya, black gloves and a black face cover, also called a Niqab.
An investigation into the suspect's identity, including gender, is said to be underway.
'The police are investigating to uncover the crime's causes and motives and to arrest the culprit,' said Colonel Dr. Rashid Mohammad Borshid, Head of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Abu Dhabi Police Tuesday.
The victim, who was only identified by police as A.B.R., had been working as a school teacher when she was slain, said Borshid.
Her two children have since been placed in the care of the Community Police.
'The Community Police will be providing the children with shelter and other needs pending the arrival of their father (the victim's ex-husband) from abroad. The father will be received by the Community Police, who will also cater to the needs of the victim's family,' he said.
'The Abu Dhabi Police will spare no effort in order to unveil this heinous crime and bring the culprit to justice.'
