Saudi student Mohammed Al Qassim fatally stabbed in park near Cambridge, killer’s image

Saudi student Mohammed Al Qassim tragic murder continues to spark global outrage.

A Saudi student Mohammed Al Qassim was stabbed to death on Friday evening in a park south of Cambridge, UK, police have confirmed. The incident has triggered an ongoing investigation, with two men arrested so far, according to a report by Al Ekhbariya TV.

Britain’s Cambridge Crown Court heard the case for the first time on Tuesday. Charges of murder were brought against the defendant. He denied the crime in front of the judge, though, so the court decided to delay making a verdict and carry out more research.

In addition to being a scholarship student, the late Mohammed Al-Qassim was a young man renowned for his moral character and his voluntary work serving God’s guests at the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Thousands of people posted his pictures in volunteer uniform during the Hajj season, expressing both pride and sadness.

“A noble Saudi young man, known for his piety to his parents and his volunteer service to the Guests of God at the Grand Mosque in Mecca,” said Saudi Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq Al-Rabiah in a heartfelt statement on the X platform in memory of Mohammed Al Qassim. I send my deepest sympathies and condolences to his family. May God show him mercy and pardon him. Additionally, Mishary Rashid Alafasy wrote: “As a Muslim, a Quran memorizer, a servant of God’s guests, a knowledge seeker, and a son of our nation, we owe Mohammed Al Qassim a right. He was betrayed in his murder.

Officials weren’t the only ones who responded. A private letter that Mohammed Al Qassim wrote to his sister prior to his passing was released by his sister, and it caused a lot of people to express their sorrow. “My sister… you are a source of pride and support,” he remarked. I vow to God that I love you with an unfathomable love, despite the fact that I have a strange feeling that I cannot explain to you. Mohammed’s humanity was emphasized by these straightforward comments, which combined pride with sadness. People have said that Mohammed “departed in body, but left behind a fragrant legacy.”

In addition to expressing his sorrow, Fayez Al-Maliki uploaded a picture of Mohammed Al Qassim along with the following message: “May God comfort and strengthen his family’s hearts.” #Al-Qassim Muslim. I pray that God will give him paradise. In order to honor Mohammed Al Qassim, his posts, recollections, and even pictures of his prayer rug—which stayed exactly as he left it—have been turned into symbols. Arab and Gulf audiences are keeping a careful eye on the case’s specifics as investigations intensify, anticipating justice and the conclusion of the accused’s trial.
