NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - Wesleyan University students are creating a health care clinic in an African slum in memory of a classmate who was murdered last year.

The Johanna Justin-Jinich Memorial Clinic is expected to open this summer in Kibera in Kenya and serve 5,000 to 6,000 residents annually. A Kenyan nurse and doctor will staff the clinic along with community health workers.

Organizers predict the clinic will save lives.

Justin-Jinich of Timnath, Colo., was shot to death in a bookstore cafe in Middletown. Stephen P. Morgan, an acquaintance from Massachusetts, has been charged with killing the 21-year-old student.

Justin-Jinich had hoped to attend graduate school in international public health with a focus on women's access to health care.
