United Arab Emirates police released a remarkable video that shows how a suspect in an American woman's stabbing death arrived at the mall where the crime took place, and later planted a bomb at the home of an American doctor, before fleeing in a white SUV.



The video also follows police as they raid the suspect's home and arrest her.



The suspect, covered from head to toe in a black abayah, was caught on multiple surveillance tapes.



The clip was posted on the Abu Dhabi police department's YouTube page. Here's how it all happened:



The suspect, whose face is covered, enters the Abu Dhabi shopping mall and takes the elevator.



After allegedly stabbing Ibolya Ryan, a kindergarten teacher from Colorado, the suspect flees the building. The tape shows blood splattered on the floor at the scene of the stabbing, and a large, bloodied kitchen knife.



The culprit, still in her abayah, arrives at an apartment building with a rolling suitcase.



The suspect planted a makeshift bomb at the home of another victim, an American doctor, police said.



The accused killer then got into a white SUV whose plates are covered by a United Arab Emirates flag.



Police later dismantled the explosive device:



The clip shows police ambushing a mansion, where they arrest a woman they say is the suspect.
