The sister of Tamilore Odunsi, the British-Nigerian nursing student stabbed to de@th by her male roommate in Texas, has shared the emotional moment she accepted her nursing pin at her graduation ceremony.
Tamilore, 23, was excited about becoming a nurse and even took to her TikTok to countdown to her graduation date. Sadly, she was st@bbed to de@th by her male roommate in their apartment in Texas, USA, just days before her graduation.
According to police, the roommate, Chester Lamar Grant, 40, moved in just 2 months before the att@ck and k!lled her following a dispute over their pet cats.
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.
Following her de@th, Tamilore’s sister represented her at her graduation ceremony.
