An Egyptian teacher working at a school in Saudi Arabia was shot dead by one of his teenage students last week. The 35-year-old named as Hani Abdel Tawab was an English teacher at a middle school and had reportedly been killed by a 13-year-old student following an altercation in the classroom after the student was not satisfied with the grading of his examination.
According to reports, the student waited for the teacher outside the school and was accompanied by his 16-year-old brother. The suspects are then believed to have taken Abdel Tawab to the Al-Sulayyil General Hospital in Riyadh before fleeing. Having spent almost a week in the intensive care unit, the victim succumbed to his injuries.
