A former chairman of the British Union of Jewish Students was killed in an apparent robbery and rape attempt in Washington.

Alan Senitt was walking his girlfriend home in Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood before dawn on Sunday when he was stabbed to death. Two adult males, a minor male and a woman were charged Sunday with murder. One of the males was also charged with assault with intent to commit first-degree sexual assault, Washington police spokesman Sgt. Joe Gentile told JTA. Senitt, 27, headed the student group in 2002. The SomethingJewish.co.uk Web site said he subsequently was active in Labor Party politics, pro-Israel activism and Muslim-Jewish dialogue.
