Khaberni - On the fourth day of the trial sessions of the killer of the Saudi scholarship student Mohammed Al-Qasim, the British Crown Court in Cambridge presented decisive visual evidence documenting the moment of the killing of the Saudi student Mohammed Al-Qasim, refuting the defendant’s claims of self-defense, and affirming that there was no prior acquaintance between them.
The second session of the trial featured a precise display of surveillance camera recordings that documented the details of the crime, observing the movements of the perpetrator and the victim before, during, and after the incident.
Refuting the defendant's claims
The visual evidence provided by the prosecution categorically refuted the defendant's claims that he was acting in self-defense, as the recordings showed no prior contact or altercation between the parties.
The footage revealed that the defendant was in a bar in an abnormal state under the influence of intoxicants and drugs, carrying a knife in his pocket which he used to commit his crime.
The attacker delivered a very violent and sudden stab to the victim's neck, who tried to escape by running away immediately after being injured, but fell unconscious and died due to his severe injuries.
The surveillance cameras confirmed that the killer did not retreat after stabbing but ran towards the victim with the intent of deliberate harm, which completely negates the narrative that the defense tried to hold onto to justify his act.
Matching witness testimonies
The testimonies of eyewitnesses in front of the jury matched exactly what the cameras documented, confirming the aggressive and fierce behavior of the defendant who attempted to attack other people on the same day.
Saudi student Mohammed Al-Qasim, 20 years old, was stabbed which led to his death in Cambridge, UK, six months ago while he was spending a ten-week training period at a language institute.
The police charged the killer with murder and carrying a knife in a public place and arrested a 50-year-old man suspected of assisting the criminal.
