MUSCAT: The family of Mohammad Al Araimi, the Omani student stabbed to death in London last Friday have urged media to avoid speculating over reports of his death. 

The family have issued the following statement: 

“The motives for this horrific attack are unknown and the varying reports printed in some of the press have caused even more distress,” the statement said.

“Until the circumstances and details of this heinous crime are fully substantiated, we respectfully ask for the space and silence to grieve as a family. We have full confidence in the Metropolitan Police and their ability to bring this investigation to a speedy and just conclusion.”

“Last Friday will be etched in the minds of our close-knit family forever,” added the statement. 

“While going about our daily lives in Muscat we had little idea of the tragic and unexpected events unfolding in London that have irreversibly changed the course of our family’s lives. Our hearts are eternally broken,” the statement added.
