My first thought was who kills a person by decapitation, but then I did a brief search about Chinese history and found it was also done in China.

The Male student has a name that has a history, but it might be like Smith & Jones in the U.S.

Seriously, who is going to send their daughter to this school now?

From all indications, the victim and her killer knew each other. Goriness aside, that's the standard situation for most murders- people tend to be killed by someone they know. This had nothing to do with Virginia Tech.

Just not in this case.

I’m sure the decapitation thing is a cultural/mentally ill type of thing.

Many Chinese men are desperate to find a girl friend or wife.

Well maybe they should stop chopping off their heads and their dating pool would widen.

Ya THINK?!?!??

I was referring to my own post.

A kitchen knife??? Not trying to be cute, but I have trouble cutting through chicken bones. That took some serious work.

I just do not understand the evil in the souls of some people.

OK, then it’s even more your right. I’m a bit ambivalent about mine as well.

Most likely. For example, we know that Muslims are into decapitation.

Many foreigners who come to Virginia Tech are baffled by our laws. In their country, penalties can be muted by political influence. Sometimes crimes are simply forgotten. You can miss a court date and use “I forgot” as a valid defense. They find our penalties way too strict. We’ve had people commit a crime, leave the country and then come back, thinking that would somehow “reboot” the justice system.

This guy may have thought that he would just be sent home if he did this. I doubt he considered that he could spend the rest of his life in a US prison.

How the hell did a decapitated female even get into college?

Don't know, but maybe she thought by attending she could get ahead.

We should send him home. The Chinese will deal with his crime swiftly at a much lower cost. After spending some time in a Chinese prison, he will ask for capital punishment.

[AppyPappy]

That would depend on whether he was “well-connected” in China

[Red in Blue PA]

Exactly what I was thinking.

Or possibly be executed. This IS Virginia.

[Joya]

Ping.

[WayneS]

Sorry, that last one should have gone to AppyPappy.

Maybe a reflection of the US immigration policy. There was also a Chinese national graduate student who murdered a couple of professors at Iowa State(?) a while back. These professors just happened to be engaged in sensitive scientific research.

Of the college level multiple shootings/knifing, foreign students are way overrepresented.

[AppyPappy]

I don’t think they would nuke a Chinese national. The Chinese might think it was too cruel.
