US flag to fly half-mast in memory of Indian students
Washington,
Dec
18:
The
Louisiana
State
University
(LSU)
has
lowered
the
American
flag
on
its
parade
ground
to
half-staff
in
honour
of
its
two
deceased
Indian
doctoral
students,
even
as
Baton
Rouge
police
released
'artist
sketches'
of
two
of
the
suspects
wanted
in
connection
with
their
alleged
murder.
The flag will fly at half-staff until 4:30 pm on Friday, said a University statement. Bodies of Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma (31) and Kiran Kumar Allam (33) were found with gun shot wounds on Thursday night in the Edward Gay Apartments around the campus. Both the suspects are black male in their twenties. One was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and the other wore a white long sleeve shirt with a high collar and dark jeans.
In all, the police suspects at least three and possibly four black males who were on the complex property as early as 9:00 pm on the night of December 13, the day the two students were allegedly done to death.
According to LSU news, all investigative indicators so far are that the suspects were scouting for an opportunity to rob someone, and the working investigative theory at this time is that the suspects may have observed Komma arrive at the complex to visit his friend Allam, and may have followed Komma into Allam's apartment.
It says these suspects should obviously be considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached. Anyone with any information on their identities or whereabouts is urged to immediately contact the police.
