Saudi Arabian student, 20, is stabbed to death during placement in Cambridge - as man, 21, is charged with murder
A Saudi Arabian student has been stabbed to death during his placement in Cambridge. Mohammed Algasim, 20, was pronounced dead at the scene of Mill Park at 12.01am on Saturday despite the best efforts of paramedics to save him. A 21-year-old man from Cambridge has been charged with murder and appeared before Peterborough Magistrates' Court today. He is due to appear before Cambridge Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday. Police were called to the incident at 11.27pm following reports of violence. The street, near to Cambridge railway station, consists largely of apartment blocks - with floral tributes now left on the pavement outside one of the buildings. A message, on a piece of paper taped to a barrier behind the tributes, said 'may your soul be at peace' and had heart shapes drawn on it. It also said 'inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un', which is an Arabic phrase meaning 'to God we belong and to Him we return'. Police said that Mr Algasim had been on a 10-week placement studying in Cambridge. EF International Language Campuses Cambridge, a private school offering English language courses to overseas students, said it was 'deeply saddened' to confirm one of its adult students had died. Cambridgeshire Police said on Monday that it is believed Mr Algasim was 'stabbed in an unprovoked attack'. A post-mortem examination is due to take place on Tuesday. The force said that Chas Corrigan, of Cambridge, has been charged with murder and possession of a knife in a public place. A 50-year-old man, also from Cambridge, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. He remains in custody.
