A British teenager who was pardoned by the leader of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after he was jailed in Dubai for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old has been killed in a car crash.

He is 19-year-old Marcus Fakana.

According to a Sky News report, Fakana died in hospital early Friday following a police pursuit in Tottenham, north London. He was a passenger in the car, the report said.

Just three months ago, Fakana had been serving a one year prison sentence for having sex with a 17-year-old girl in the UAE where the age of consent is 18. He had only been released from prison after he received a pardon from the country’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

He had served six months in prison before he was granted the pardon, after which he immediately returned to his home in Tottenham, north London.

The police said about 12:52 am on Friday, lawmen attempted to stop a “vehicle of interest” on Pretoria Road; however, after a short chase they lost sight of the vehicle. The police said the vehicle was later found to be involved in a collision with another vehicle.

Fakana had suffered significant injuries and was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

The driver, Marwaan Mohamed Huseen of Argyle Road, Tottenham, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without insurance, driving without a licence and failing to stop, Sky News reported.
