Saudi student to be laid to rest in Makkah after fatal UK stabbing Mohammed Al-Qassim died from 11.5cm neck stab, says UK coroner
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 06 - 08 - 2025

RIYADH — The family of Mohammed Al-Qassim has announced the tragic death of their son following a fatal stabbing attack in the United Kingdom, prompting an outpouring of grief from the Saudi public.
A statement confirmed that funeral prayers for Al-Qassim will be held at the Grand Mosque in Makkah after Friday prayers on August 8, 2025, with burial to follow at the Al-Shuhada Cemetery in Al-Shara'i district.
According to the official medical report issued by British authorities, the 21-year-old student died instantly after receiving a single stab wound to the neck measuring 11.5 centimeters deep.
The report noted that the weapon used is typically associated with homicide and confirmed that the attacker was fully conscious and acted with clear intent to kill.
British prosecutors have charged the main suspect, Chaz Corrigan, with murder and possession of a bladed weapon in a public place.
During the opening session at Cambridge Crown Court, Corrigan pleaded not guilty and claimed self-defense. The next court session is scheduled for September 8.
Al-Qassim's body has since been released to his family and is expected to arrive in Saudi Arabia on Thursday for burial the following day.
The Saudi embassy in London is closely following the case, coordinating with local authorities to ensure justice is served.
The family expressed gratitude for the embassy's support and stressed their determination to pursue the legal process until the perpetrator is held fully accountable.
Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah mourned the loss in a heartfelt post, describing Mohammed as "a noble and devoted young man known for his kindness, obedience to his parents, and dedication to volunteering at the Grand Mosque."
While mourning the devastating loss, the family affirmed their trust in the legal system and reiterated that their son's memory will live on as a model of good character and devotion.
