RIYADH: A British construction worker who fatally stabbed Saudi student Mohammed Al-Qasim in Cambridge last summer was sentenced on Thursday to life imprisonment for murder, with a minimum term of 22 and a half years before he can be considered for parole, according to Cambridge Crown Court. Chas Corrigan, 22, was sentenced after the jurors found him guilty in March of murdering the 20-year-old Saudi citizen, who had traveled to Britain to study English.
