The Igbariam campus of the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu- Ojukwu University (COOU), was thrown into confusion last week, following the mysterious death of two students in their off-campus residence.

The late Kelly Okonkwo, who was a student of Entrepreneurship Department, was said to have visited her boyfriend, simply identified as Gerald, who was a 24-year-old 200-Level Public Administration student, in his Diamond Lodge hostel for the weekend. But, three days after they had been together, the love birds were found to be dead.

Neighbours reported the incident to the police who came and forced the door open only to discover Kelly's body beside Gerald, who was unconscious at the time. They were almost naked.

The police rushed the unconscious Gerald to the university's Teaching Hospital in Amaku, where he died.

The late Gerald was the president of Diamond Lodge.
