South Wales Police is continuing to investigate the incident and said the victim was critical care at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales.

I wonder if we should respond to this with rage:




A 22-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for the "unprovoked and senseless" murder of a Saudi Arabian student.

Mohammed Algasim, 20, was stabbed in the neck outside student accommodation in Cambridge in August 2025.

Prosecutors said construction worker Chas Corrigan, of Holbrook Road, Cambridge, attacked Algasim with a kitchen knife after "an evening of drinking and using drugs".

At Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday, Corrigan was sentenced to life, to serve a minimum term of 22 years and six months in prison after he was found guilty of murder at an earlier trial.

Corrigan's father, Peter Corrigan, 50, was also jailed for two years after pleading guilty to assisting an offender after concealing high-visibility clothing that his son had been wearing at the time of the attack.

Worcestor, it's as if you're trying to prove multiculturalism doesn't work

I guess the posters on here ranting over their own (oft ill-considered before commenting) political agendas are actively looking to link every incident to each other when each occurrence has its own identity and idiosyncrasies!
