'The Devil took over my body' says murderer of British backpacker

-Sarah Groves, 24, was stabbed 40 times in Kashmir on Saturday morning

-Victim had been staying on boathouse for two months with boyfriend

-Police arrested Richard de Wit 45 miles from alleged murder scene

-Boyfriend's family pay tribute to traveller who was 'like a daughter' to them

The British backpacker murdered in India was a 'free spirit' who abandoned the security of home in a bid to see the world, according to friends.

Before Sarah Groves set off for India in July 2012, she posted a message on Facebook which said: 'Quit your job, buy a ticket, get a tan, fall in love, never return.'

Friends have paid tribute to the 25-year-old former public school girl after she was stabbed to death by a Dutch tourist who later told police: 'The Devil took over my body.'

She was staying on a houseboat owned by the family of her Indian boyfriend, who said she was 'like a daughter' to them.

So many words, so little information.

Well, the same thing can easily happen anywhere to a lone unarmed female. This has been reality for women for 100% of human history and why women were often restricted in going out alone.

People will say it's “3rd world” mentality/demographics but some of the most prolific and sadistic serial killers have been middle-class white Americans.

I recommend all women going to isolated areas to travel in groups, preferably armed. Both in the US and abroad.

Evil does indeed infest this world and this is a stark reminder.

'The Devil took over my body.'

To bad this happened in India.

If it happened in Texas, he would get a quicker chance to meet with the Devil and voice his grievance directly.

They mention a 24 year old, and a 25 year old. Are these two different people?

What is it with these murderous Dutch guys? Is this guy really 7ft tall? I have some Dutch friends and they are all tall but they are liberal pacifists and would not hurt a fly.

When she was in college, Mrs WBill had a young, pretty roommate, who was.... well, we'll say "Whimsical", since "Empty-Headed" though more apt, is more rude.

She was a pleasnt girl, cute, brunette, raised in the suburbs. "Street Smart" to her, was knowing proper directions to get to her classes.

Anyhoo, this girl decided one day that she was headed -by herself - to *Iran* (of all places) to "help orphans". All of the girls in the house (Mrs WBill included) tried to talk her out of it, but there was no dissuading her. What was worse, was that her parents - both hippie-dippy liberals, both academics of some sort (Bennington? Someplace in Vermont, anyway) - not only DIDN'T talk her out of it, but ENCOURAGED the endeavor.

I never read about her in the news, so I guess that she survived. But, I always wondered.

I blame modern feminism for all this. Bottom line, not everyone is "liberally enlightened" (though, truth be told, they'd be better off with a couple of armed conservative FReepers...) Women CAN'T do everything that they'd like to do. They're not "empowered" for making foolish choices, they just suffer the consequences.
