Student Stabbing: Truth Behind the Fallout | Leicester News

A 19-year-old student, Harper Dennis, has been convicted of manslaughter after fatally stabbing his former friend, Khaleed Oladipo, in a shocking Oxford Street confrontation. The jury took two weeks to deliberate, also convicting him on charges of possessing an offensive weapon and refusing to hand over his phone’s PIN. Prosecutors claimed the attack was fueled by a perceived debt, while Dennis insists it was self-defense—he said he feared for his life when Oladipo approached with a knife. Adding to the drama: Dennis had sent Oladipo $6,000 for a scam that went unpaid, later received a fake Rolex as repayment, and threatened to expose Oladipo online. He also admitted to gambling addiction. The case has deeply shaken the university community, with investigators calling it a tragic falling out between two young men whose lives were cut short by a moment of rage and misunderstanding. Sentencing looms.
