Two British students stranded in Dubai for almost three months after dispute over damaged luxury rental car are finally told they can return home

Two British students stranded in Dubai for almost three months after a dispute over a damaged luxury rental car have been told they can return home.

James Dua-Wiafi and Stanley Kundishora were banned from leaving the UAE until a court hearing over allegations of assault when they disputed how much they were being charged for repairs.

But the University of Canterbury students, who say they were mistaken for rich Premier League footballers, have been fined just £200 and told a flight ban from Dubai had now been lifted.

The pair are expected to return to the UK later this week.
