No Evidence Saudi Student’s Death Was Hate Crime

Police say they have identified a suspect in the fatal assault of a student from Saudi Arabia at the University of Wisconsin at Stout last month and have found no evidence it was a hate crime, according to a statement on the university’s Facebook page. Police also say that the suspect in the death of Hussain Saeed Alnahdi is not a student at UW Stout or a resident of the surrounding Dunn County.

The Menomonie Police Department did not release the name of the suspect pending a decision on possible charges by the Dunn County District Attorney’s Office.
