UK witnesses tragic killing of Saudi student via stabbing
In a tragic event that has shaken the community, a Saudi student named Mohammed Al-Qasim, 20, was stabbed to death in Cambridge, UK on August 4th, 2025. The incident, described as an unprovoked attack, occurred near Mill Park, a short distance from Al-Qasim’s residence.
Al-Qasim was a Saudi student enrolled in a 10-week English language program at EF International Language Campuses. Emergency responders arrived at the scene at 11:27 p.m., but Al-Qasim was pronounced dead at 12:01 a.m. on August 2.
British police have arrested two men in connection with the incident. A 21-year-old man has been charged with murder and possession of a knife, and a 50-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. Both remain in police custody. There is mention of a third suspect who is still at large.
The Saudi Embassy in the UK is coordinating with British authorities and preparing to repatriate Al-Qasim’s body to Saudi Arabia. A UK coroner revealed that Al-Qasim died from an 11.5 cm stab wound to the neck.
The family of the deceased paid an emotional visit to the scene in Cambridge after the incident. The investigation remains ongoing, with police appealing to the public for further information. Investigations are ongoing to uncover the circumstances of the crime.
