American student stabbed to death in the Netherlands, police say

A 21-year-old American student was stabbed to death in Rotterdam, allegedly by her roommate, police confirmed Friday.

According to a police statement, authorities received reports of a quarrel at an apartment on Kralingse Kerklaan on Wednesday. When they entered the apartment, the statement said, police found Sarah Papenheim with stab wounds and attempted to resuscitate her. Police say those attempts were unsuccessful, and she died of her injuries.

An investigation led authorities to the suspect, Papenheim's 23-year-old roommate, who was arrested at the Eindhoven train station, the police statement said. The two lived in the same apartment with their own rooms, but shared a kitchen and bathroom, police said. The suspect has not been named by police.

Papenheim had moved to the Netherlands to study at Erasmus University in Rotterdam.

Papenheim's brother died by suicide a few years ago, her former high school teacher Mitch Bahr told CNN affiliate KRCR, and Papenheim was struggling with the loss. She attended Foothill High School near Redding, California.

She was supposed to come home next week for the holidays, her friend George Moye told CNN affiliate WCCO.

That is common in Europe to not release suspect’s name. It actually is a good idea to protect innocent, wrongly accused suspects.

Name and gender hasn't been released, which suggests that it's a non-Dutch Islamic male (or maybe female). Thanks BenLurkin.
