Indian-American students’ deaths remembered five years later

Posted on February 1, 2013 | 1 Comment

On the cusp of two University students’ seemingly bright futures, tragedy struck.

On Dec. 13, 2007, international Ph.D. students Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and Kiran Kumar Allam were tailed by two or three men to the latter’s home at the Edward Gay Apartments near the Tiger Band Hall. The stalkers followed the two men upon entering the apartment — binding Komma with a computer cable as Allam possibly attempted to escape.

They were both shot dead.

The five-year-old case is still alive today, though, as the University dedicated a remembrance garden to Komma and Allam in December and motion hearings for their two suspected killers will begin this month.

    its great to remember and honour the ph. D students (Komma and Allam )by dedicating the garden in memory of them who were shaping their future and the destiny of their life and who were shot for no reason, left irreparable loss to their families. i only wish this kind of incident should not occur to anybody in this world
