A United States-based Nigerian professor, Marinus Iwuchukwu, and a woman known as Charce Dunn have been found dead in Pittsburg Pennsylvania.
They were discovered dead on Thorncrest Drive in Wilkins Township, Pittsburg, after an alleged “domestic disturbance” at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
Allegheny County Police said they were called to check on the well-being of a couple who were inside their home.
According to the authorities, a third party was unable to contact the male occupant and discovered that he had been stabbed. A woman with a pistol remained inside the house.
The SWAT team made entry into the home and found a 59-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman dead, Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 reports.
Both appeared to have sustained lacerations, and the woman sustained an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

“This is a tragedy for all involved and our thoughts and prayers are with Professor Iwuchukwu’s colleagues, students, friends, and loved ones,” the varsity spokesman Gabriel Welsch said in a statement.
