A 24-year-old Indian student -- Sudheer Reddy Satti -- was found stabbed to death in the University of Florida housing complex.

Satti had rented the apartment, where he was found dead. Satti was last seen alive on December 31.

Lt Joe Sharkey, a spokesman for the University of Florida Police Department, said Satti received multiple stab wounds and that no weapon was found at the scene.

No arrests have been made in the case, the first murder on campus in 25 years.

Satti came to the United States to work on his graduate degree in civil engineering in 2002. He worked as a graduate assistant, while working on his doctorate.

Two friends concerned about his well-being asked officials Sunday to check his apartment at Maguire Village, a housing complex for families and graduate students.

Officers found the body in the back bedroom of the first-floor apartment. The door and windows were locked, and there was no sign of forced entry, police said.

Police released information about a stereo system, home theatre system, speaker phone, VCR and DVD player missing from Satti's apartment, hoping it might lead to information in the case.
