Rome prosecutor opens investigation into the death of Mariam Moustafa

Italy’s prosecutors have opened an investigation into the death of Egyptian student Mariam Moustafa, who is a dual Egyptian-Italian citizen by virtue of birth, Egypt Independent reports. The Rome prosecutor has asked the UK authorities to share details of the investigation, while the Italian ambassador in London said he is “personally following the case”, according to the Italian Foreign Ministry. Meanwhile, the family of the 18-year-old student who was killed in Nottingham has said that the violent attack against her might have been motivated by “mistaken identity”, the Nottingham Post reports. A post-mortem examination into Mariam’s death was inconclusive and more tests will be carried out, the Nottinghamshire Police said.
