Police has revealed the culprit responsible for the de@th of British-Nigerian nursing student, Tamilore Odunsi, in Texas and their motive for the attack.
A man who was living with Tamilore, who was brutally stabbed to de@th days before her graduation, has been identified by police as her k!ller.
The male roommate allegedly k!lled her following a dispute over their pet cats.
Odunsi’s roommate, Chester Lamar Grant, is suspected to be responsible for the fatal st@bbing and allegedly attempted to k!ll himself after the altercation, Houston police told local CBS affiliate KHOU 11.
On April 26, police conducted a welfare check at the student’s Houston apartment. They entered the unit after seeing blood on the rear patio, and, once inside, they found Odunsi, 23, with multiple stab wounds and Grant, 40, with at least one.
Odunsi was pronounced de@d at the scene.
Now, police said that days before the stabbing, the roommates got in an argument over the cats that they kept in the apartment, eventually leading Grant to stab Odunsi, KHOU 11 reported, citing authorities.
After stabbing Odunsi, Grant tried to end his own life by stabbing himself six times, including once in his neck, detectives told KHOU 11.
He and Odunsi had only been living with each other for about two months at the time of the incident, per the outlet.
Following the April welfare check, Grant was hospitalized in critical condition. On May 3, he was booked into jail and charged with murd£r, according to jail records.
He is next expected to appear in court on Monday, May 5.
