Family pay tribute to ‘pure of heart' Saudi student who was stabbed in Cambridge
Mohammed Algasim, 20, was pronounced dead after police were called to Mill Park, a street near the city's main train station, late on Friday.
Floral tributes have been left on the pavement outside an apartment block in the street.
Cambridgeshire Police said on Monday that a 21-year-old man, Chas Corrigan, has been charged with murder and possession of a knife in a public place.
Officers had been called to Mill Park at 11.27pm on Friday following reports of violence.
Mr Algasim was pronounced dead at the scene at 12.01am on Saturday despite the best efforts of paramedics, the force said.
In a statement issued through police, his family said he was a 'young man brimming with enthusiasm, brimming with chivalry and courage'.
'He was a dutiful son, a loving brother, and the leader of the family in spirit, not in appearance,' they said.
'He was cheerful, chivalrous, pure of heart, quick to give, and passionate about others.
'Over time, he became the family's charisma, leaving behind an unforgettable legacy in every gathering.
'He was his father's support, his familiar companion, and the assistant to his uncles and maternal uncles.
'He was the most compassionate person to ever visit a mother's heart and the closest to his sisters' embrace.'
Cambridgeshire Police said Corrigan, of Holbrook Road, Cambridge, appeared before Peterborough Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The force said he has been remanded in custody to appear at Cambridge Crown Court on Wednesday.
A 50-year-old man, also from the city, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
He remains in custody.
EF International Language Campuses Cambridge, a private school offering English language courses to overseas students, previously said it was 'deeply saddened' to confirm one of its adult students had died.
A message, on a piece of paper taped to a barrier behind the floral tributes in Mill Park, said 'may your soul be at peace' and had heart shapes drawn on it.
It also said 'inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un', which is an Arabic phrase meaning 'to God we belong and to Him we return'.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place on Tuesday, police said.

Teen boy walked to church to call 911 after fatally shooting his mom and dad at home
A teenager allegedly shot and killed his parents in Florida before walking one mile to a church where he called 911. Trevor Lee, 14, called authorities from the church in Middleburg shortly after midnight on Monday and admitted to killing his mom and dad, according to Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook. The teenager also told authorities that his parents could be found at their home nearby, and vowed to wait at the church for law enforcement to take him into custody. When deputies then arrived at the home, they found David Lee, 44, and Brandi Smith, 45, dead from apparent gunshot wounds, Cook said at a news conference announcing the boy's arrest. The murder weapon allegedly used by Trevor was found inside the house. Sheriff Cook said he left it behind when he walked to the church. It now appears that the boy got into an argument with his parents Sunday night, that culminated in the deadly shooting, though detectives are still working to comb through the evidence to determine all of the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Investigators are also looking into Trevor's mental health history, Cook said, according to First Coast News. In the meantime, he remains in custody on two counts of second-degree murder. But his best friend, Kyree Beamon, said Trevor's actions Sunday night does not reflect the boy he knows. He told News 4 Jax that he and Trevor had been friends since elementary school, and played on the same football team. Just this past Friday, Beamon said, Trevor and his dad gave him a ride to and from practice. 'They were probably the best, or one of the best families I knew,' he said. 'They were funny and they treated me very well. They told me all the time they loved me like a son and they treated me as such.' The grieving friend went on to tell how he had received a call from Trevor overnight, though he was not sure if that was before or after his longtime friend called 911. 'He told me that he loved me and he told me that he was just calling to tell me good night,' Beamon recounted. 'Trevor isn't a bad person; he made some bad decisions and he will suffer the consequences, but that's not all he was,' he continued. 'He was a great friend, great brother, great son. 'And I'm not going to say Trevor isn't my best friend anymore because the Trevor that did this, I don't know that Trevor and the Trevor that I know, and all of our friends knew, I will continue to be friends with him and I pray that the Trevor that did this died last night.' Meanwhile, James Lewis, a cousin of Brandi's, described to First Coast News how 'she was a happy person, a good person all around. 'Every time I saw them, [they were] laughing, joking doing family things,' he said. 'My heart breaks for that little boy, obviously tragic incident, for it to get to that point where he felt like it was the only option he had, is the saddest thing you could possibly think of,' neighbor Seth Myers added.

Fears Russia will sink its own ships in a 'false flag' and blame the West after the Kremlin accused Britain of preparing 'mass raids'
Russia is feared to be preparing false flag attacks on its shadow fleet of sea vessels in order to deter the West from further sanctioning them. According to the Telegraph, a report from the SVR, Moscow 's foreign intelligence service, claimed that the UK was plotting to attack Russia's fleet of ships used to subvert sanctions. The SVR said that the attacks would be designed to look like accidents, causing significant environmental damage and allowing the UK and the rest of NATO to justify further actions against them. The report claimed: 'British intelligence services are planning to use NATO allies to launch a mass raid on the "shadow fleet"; for this purpose, an ecological catastrophe in international waters is being prepared.' But experts said the report's publication raised concerns that Russia is preparing its own false flag operation, a scheme carried out by the Kremlin but designed to look like it has British origins. Dr Sidharth Kaushal, a research fellow at RUSI, told the newspaper: 'One interpretation might be that the Russians are insuring themselves against something breaking down or sinking, in a way that creates a pretext for restricting [their movement across the ocean].' So far, at least six tankers have suffered mysterious explosions since the start of the year. The suspicion has largely fallen on Ukraine, as all of the tankers were docked in Russian ports. Some of them were carrying Russian oil. It comes after the National Crime Agency (NCA) warned UK financial firms that Russian oil trading companies are utilising a complex network of companies with deliberately obscure ownership structures in order to evade sanctions. Britain has banned the maritime transportation of Russian oil as its energy exports are funding the war in Ukraine. In 2024, 30 per cent of Russia's federal budget came from oil and gas sales. But Russian oil trading companies are managing to circumvent sanctions to get Western cash which is continuing to fund the Russian state, investigators believe. One of the companies sanctioned last year used over 100 Shadow Fleet oil tankers, vessels which are usually over 15 years old which secretly carry Russian oil. To avoid detection, flags are regularly changed and the ship's automatic identification system is turned off to avoid its movements being tracked, while the oil is often transferred from one ship to another to obscure its origin before the shipment reaches its destination. Over 400 Shadow Fleet vessels have so far been sanctioned by the UK, EU, US and Canada. An NCA spokesman said: 'Today, the National Crime Agency has issued an alert to financial institutions and other members of the UK regulated sector in relation to the sale of Russian oil and gas through the use of Shadow Fleet vessels and front companies. 'Sanctions imposed on Russia as a result of its invasion of Ukraine have had a significant impact on its ability to sell oil and gas it produces. 'However, in an effort to circumvent these controls, Russian oil trading companies are utilising a complex network of companies with deliberately obscure ownership structures to evade sanctions whilst accessing Western finance and professional services in order to continue to fund the Russian state.'

Prison system came 'within days of collapse' - and not just once
The prison system was close to collapse on a number of occasions between autumn 2023 and summer 2024, an independent review by former chief inspector of prisons, Dame Anne Owers, has found. The report, which was published on Tuesday, said there was a systemic problem which has led to recurring prison capacity crises over the last 18 years. Dame Anne warned there is an urgent need for senior staff in the justice system to move from crisis management to a more strategic approach to avoid repeated issues. The report also stressed the importance of having enough capacity in probation and other community services, as they are critical to prevent offending and reoffending. The report, which was commissioned by Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood in February, also detailed the financial cost of the crisis. It found the price of holding prisoners in police cells reached over £70m, while construction costs for new prisons nearly doubled to £10.1bn. 0:33 Prisons struggling to 'work effectively and safely' Dame Anne said: "The scale, likelihood, risks, and consequences of the prison capacity crisis could not have been signalled more clearly, at every level of government. "The response was last-minute short-term fixes rather than long-term solutions to the underlying problems." She said the crises had spanned successive governments, and "seriously affected prisons' ability to work effectively and safely". Rather than just invest in prisons themselves, the government should pour more money into community provision to help reduce offending and reoffending, she added. Other recommendations include: • Putting in place a 10-year plan for capacity in probation and community services • Setting up an independent body to provide advice and check the plans of prison and probation services • Getting the HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) Board to evaluate the Prison Service 2:28 'Close to total collapse' Ms Mahmood, the justice secretary, said: "This report lays bare the disgraceful way the last Conservative government ran our prisons. "They added less than 500 cells to the prison estate over 14 years, released over 10,000 prisoners early under a veil of secrecy, and brought our jails close to total collapse on countless occasions."
