SIX teenagers are due to appear in court after an 18-year-old girl died following an attack outside a shopping centre.

Mariam Moustafa died three weeks after being left in a coma following the assault outside Intu Victoria shopping centre in Nottingham.

Three 17-year-old girls, two teens aged 15 and a 19-year-old woman are now due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on September 27 to face affray charges.

Mariam, who had been offered a place at university in London, was born in Rome after her family moved from Egypt in 1991.

The engineering student was rushed to Nottingham City Hospital following the attack on February 20.

She was placed in an induced coma but sadly died from a stroke on March 14.

After her death, the Egyptian Embassy said it had been "closely following" the circumstances of the "vicious attack".
