Six teenagers have been summoned to court to answer affray charges following the death of Mariam Moustafa, 18, who died three weeks after she was attacked by a group of girls outside a shopping centre.
Three 17-year-old girls, two 15-year-old girls and a 19-year-old woman have been summoned to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on September 27.
Egyptian student Mariam, of Nottingham, was taken to the city’s Queen’s Medical Centre for treatment after she was beaten outside the Intu Victoria shopping centre on February 20.
Mariam, who had just been offered a place at university in London, had originally been discharged, but started to deteriorate at home and was rushed back to hospital
She died at Nottingham City Hospital on March 14, 2018 of a stroke.
Chief superintendent Rob Griffin previously said the force remains committed to seeing ‘that justice is done’.
He said: ‘Nottinghamshire Police, working closely with colleagues from the East Midlands Major Crime Unit, have carried out a thorough and professional investigation into this case.
‘During the investigation we have meticulously gathered all of the available evidence.
‘We have now provided the CPS with all of that evidence, so that they can now consider it and reach a decision over the next steps in the case.
‘I have been in regular contact with Mariam’s family and their legal representative and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has been in close touch with Egyptian authorities over the course of the last five months to keep them fully informed of the progress of the investigation.’

Mariam, who had been offered a place at university in London, was born in Rome, where her family had moved from Egypt in 1991.
Italian prosecutors also opened an investigation into her death.
In a statement, Nottingham Police said: ‘We’d like to remind people that nothing should be published by anyone which could likely lead to any juvenile (aged under 18) who is involved in these court proceedings being identified, whether as a defendant or witness.’
‘Mariam was admitted to hospital following reports of an incident which happened in Parliament Street, Nottingham, at about 8pm on Tuesday 20 February 2018. She died in hospital on 14 March 2018. She died of a stroke.’
