LONDON: Britain is losing its reputation for being a safe education and travel destination, the uncle of a Saudi student who was stabbed to death in Cambridge has told The National.
Mohammed Yousef Al-Qassem, 20, was killed in the city’s Mill Park last Friday in what police described as an “unprovoked attack.”
He was on a 10-week placement course at EF International Language Campuses Cambridge, a private English-language school.
Chas Corrigan, 21, was charged with murder and possession of a knife in a public place.
Corrigan denied the charge against him in a court appearance on Wednesday and claimed he was defending himself, Al-Ekhbariya TV reported. He will next appear in court on September 8.
