A 21-year-old has been charged with the murder of 20-year-old Saudi student Mohammed Algasim in Cambridge in what police described as an “unprovoked” attack, BBC reported yesterday. Algasim, who was in the UK for a 10-week study placement, was attacked and stabbed to death while walking to his accommodation last Friday. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A 50-year-old man has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting the offender and remains in custody. A post-mortem examination is scheduled for today.

The story also got ink in Al Arabiya and The Telegraph.
