CAIRO – 26 March 2018: Assistant Foreign Minister for European affairs Amr Ramadan received Sunday UK ambassador to Egypt John Casson to get posted on the latest developments of investigations into the brutal murder of 18-year-old Egyptian student, Mariam Abdel Salam, in Nottingham in the United Kingdom.

Upon directives from Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, Ramadan received Casson on Sunday to discuss with him the progress in investigations into Abdel Salam’s murder and the reasons behind the attack, Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid said.

The Egyptian government wants assurances that the culprits would be brought to justice, Abu Zeid said.

Ramadan called on Casson to speed up the procedures of the forensic department to identify the reasons behind Abdel Sallam’s death and send a copy of her medical reports, since admitted to hospital, to the Egyptian government.

The Egyptian embassy in London hired a forensic doctor to follow up the medical reports, the spokesman said.
