Virginia Tech decapitation - this story is awful.


It seems there was a stabbing/decapitation death at the Au Bon Pain at Virginia Tech. Right. Seven PM in the Au Bon Pain - good Lord! As if they need more pain there. It seems two grad students, a man and a woman, where having coffee one minute and the next minute, she's got no head. Both were Chinese immigrants studying for graduate degrees. What am I missing here? What is the University not releasing? There is far too little information here. He'll plea NGBROI. You know, the "crazies", which I'll buy. You all remember the massacre at Tech on April 17, 2007 when Seung Cho lost his marbles and killed so many. The saddest day.

Police have said the two knew each other based on "emergency contact records". Holy crap - were they best friends? Dating? Related? Clearly they were very close if they were each others' emergency contacts! Once again, why the fuck are the interviewing the college Police Chief. Get me the Blacksburg, Virginia Police, please. Have we learned nothing?

She just got to Tech two weeks ago, he in the fall of 2008. Who knows what else will come out, but clearly this is a bad bad situation. Were there witnesses? That can't be right. I'm sorry to get all worked up but this is an awful awful case and one that begs for more explanation about the safety of our children in schools and Universities.

What do you think happened?

Awful indeed. I can't believe it. Obviously there is no way to know what happened. But what I don't get is- where are the real police speaking out about this?
