Sinedu Tadesse
upright=0.8 , Sinedu Tadesse On May 28, 1995, Sinedu Tadesse, a junior at Harvard College, stabbed her roommate, Trang Phuong Ho, to death, then committed suicide. The incident may have resulted in changes to living conditions at Harvard. Background Sinedu Tadesse was born on September 25, 1975, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She grew up in a relatively well-off family. However, this period in Ethiopia's history was turbulent. Her father had been jailed for two years when Tadesse was aged about seven.

At Harvard, Tadesse maintained a B average grade—too low for admittance to Harvard Medical School, but likely high enough to get into other good medical schools. She made no friends, remaining d ...
