About
De Montfort University (DMU) is a public university located in Leicester, UK. Recent news focuses on the tragic death of Khaleed Oladipo, a 20-year-old cybersecurity student at DMU, who was fatally stabbed in Leicester city centre. An 18-year-old has been charged with his murder and possession of an offensive weapon. The incident, described as a 'serious incident,' prompted a police investigation and road closures in the area, specifically on Oxford Street. DMU is cooperating with Leicestershire Police in their investigation. While unrelated, the university's name also appears in an article about road safety campaigning, as ministers unveiled plans to cut thousands of deaths by 2035, they paid tribute to campaigners, Naran in particular, whose son is commemorated with a pledge to mandate safety technology in new vehicles as “Dev’s Law”.
