RIYADH: Mohammed Al-Qasim, who was fatally stabbed in the UK last Friday, has been laid to rest at the Al-Shuhada cemetery in Makkah, Al Arabiya reported.
His remains were repatriated from the UK and transferred to the cemetery after Friday prayers were held at the Grand Mosque.
Men can offer their condolences at the family’s home in Makkah’s Al-Alawi neighborhood between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday.
Al-Qasim, a 20-year-old English-language student, died after being stabbed just before midnight on Friday, Aug. 1, in Cambridge.
Two men were arrested following the incident: a 21-year-old from Cambridge on suspicion of murder, and a 50-year-old on suspicion of assisting an offender.
