The two students who were murdered at a university in the
Norwegian capital of Oslo were identified as Chinese, the police
announced Saturday.
The bodies were discovered Friday morning in an apartment of the
university. After a preliminary probe, the police confirmed that
the victims were two Chinese students of a musical instrument
college in Oslo. One is male and the other female.
Technical evidence on the scene indicated that the students aged
about 20 were murdered a few days ago, but no valuable clues were
found so far.
The police have not disclosed the names of the victims for
further identification.
The Chinese embassy in Norway said that both students were from
the southeastern province of Fujian.
They arrived in Norway last September.
