According to British police, a 23-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Omani student Mohammed Al Araimi, who was stabbed near Harrods in London.
The suspect, Badir Rahim Alnazi, handed himself into a central London police station after detectives released security camera footage of two men they wanted to interview in connection with the killing.

The footage released by police showed the two men walking together along Seville Street about five minutes away from where Al Araimi died. A second short clip showed them walking in front of a casino at the end of the road.
Police had offered a reward of £20,000 for information resulting in the prosecution of those responsible for killing the Omani student and wounding his friend, both aged 20, who were followed and then attacked in a robbery attempt. It was reported that the attackers assumed that Al Araimi’s watch was a Rolex. The friend was treated in hospital but has since been discharged.
