CAMBRIDGE, England — Two men have been arrested in connection with the murder of a 20-year-old man in Cambridge, police said Saturday.

Officers were called to Mill Park at 11:27 p.m. Friday following reports of an assault. The victim, a student at EF International Language Campuses Cambridge, was pronounced dead shortly after midnight.

A 21-year-old man from Cambridge has been arrested on suspicion of murder, while a 50-year-old man, also from the city, was detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. Both remain in custody at Thorpe Wood Police Station.

Detective Inspector Dale Mepstead of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said the investigation is ongoing and urged anyone with information to come forward.

In a statement, EF International Language Campuses Cambridge said the victim was one of its adult students and described the incident as “an isolated attack carried out by a member of the public.”

“We are deeply saddened to confirm that one of our adult students was fatally injured on Friday night in a public space,” the school said.

“The safety and wellbeing of our students is our top priority. We are providing support to all students and staff affected by this tragic event and have organised counselling sessions.” — BBC
