Hatred of thought

Abstract

On the morning of May 28, 1995, Sinedu Tadesse, a junior at Harvard, stabbed her roommate Trang-Ho 45 times while Trang lay sleeping in her bed in their Harvard dormitory. By the time police arrived, Sinedu had hanged herself in the bathroom. Unlike most killers, the Ethiopian student left a detailed diary of her emotional state in the years leading up to the killing.
