A 25-year-old Singaporean student died in Brussels after he was stabbed in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Local police were called to the scene at 2.30am where they found the man with a stab wound to the abdomen.
The police provided first aid until the arrival of emergency services. The victim was later taken to hospital where he died from his injuries, the Brussels Public Prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the Singaporean, who had been studying in Belgium, had been approached by two teenagers.
A “discussion” later led to the fatal stabbing, said the authorities.
Both teens, aged 18, have been identified as suspects and detained. Their homes have also been searched.
