Saudi student stabbed in Cambridge in 'senseless' act of violence, court hears
CCTV footage shows a fatal, unprovoked stabbing of Mohammed Algasim outside Cambridge student housing; trial highlights defendant’s possible intoxication and prior violent incidents.
- On August 1, 2025, Saudi Arabian student Mohammed Algasim, 20, was fatally stabbed in the neck outside accommodation near Cambridge train station, with CCTV footage shown to jurors at Cambridge Crown Court.
- Prosecutors say Chas Corrigan, 22, had been drinking and may have taken drugs earlier that evening, with witnesses at the Earl of Derby pub saying he showed a knife, while the defence says he had a kitchen knife tucked into his waistband.
- Footage shows Corrigan approach, speak to Mr Algasim, walk towards the train station, then return with a knife before stabbing, jurors told.
- As the trial continues, jurors have been shown full CCTV footage while Cambridgeshire Police released an edited clip on Wednesday that omitted the stabbing moment.
- The defence says Corrigan will tell jurors he had no intention of using the knife, intended to wave it, and believed he might be attacked, while prosecutors say he deliberately stabbed Mr Algasim and admitted possession.
