Egyptian student killed in UK to be buried in Egypt at family's request: min.

CAIRO - 17 March 2018: The body of Egyptian girl Maryam Mostafa who was killed in England earlier this week will be buried in Egypt at the request of her family, Minister of Immigration and Egyptian Expatriates Affairs Nabila Makram said Saturday.

In a statement, Makram said the Egyptian Embassy in the UK has finalized Mostafa's burial procedures and it awaits judicial approvals to carry the body to Egypt.

Makram pointed out that she is following up the probe into the Egyptian girl's death on a daily basis with British authorities, stressing that Egypt is capable of maintaining rights of its nationals abroad.

Last month, Mostafa, an 18-year-old engineering student based in Nottingham, was brutally beaten by British women of African descent before breathing her last at a British hospital.

The incident stirred condemnation of both the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and the British Embassy in Cairo.
