BLACKSBURG, Virginia — A graduate student from China was decapitated with a kitchen knife in a campus cafe at Virginia Tech by another graduate student who knew her, police said Thursday.

Xin Yang, 22, was killed Wednesday night after arriving at the campus from Beijing on Jan. 8 to begin studying accounting, Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum said.

Her accused attacker, 25-year-old Haiyang Zhu of Ningbo, China, knew the victim but no motive for the slaying has been determined, Flinchum said. School records showed that Haiyang was listed as one of Xin’s emergency contacts.


A full news article of the report can be found here --> http://www.news.com.au/he...

The local papers does not have much details about the beheading. I wonder if there are any updates to this case.
The girl was beheaded. What would drive a person so mad that he would want to behead someone?


Xin Yan, the girl that was decapitated.

I did not hear anything about this. It sounds really crazy to me. Why would someone do such a treiable thing such as that. I think some people are just unstable and need help. I should read a little about what happened because this is the first time I have heard about this. I also feel this is really sad she had just came to this conutry to learn about something and then her life was ended by what it sounds like one of her own people. What is this world coming to? I wonder if they had a realtionship or something in that nature. Like I said I know nothing about it exept from what you shared so I am gonna look up more about it. Thanks for this discussion and I pray for her family, as well. Happy mylotting to you.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

Well, according to the report, they were having coffee together.
Then he beheaded her just like that!

There isn't much details in any of the news reports available.
Looking at the ways things are, I am not surprise if this is a crime of passion. But that is just my opinion.

Still looking out for more information in the papers.
If you find anything, do share yah?happy

That sounds awful, it must be quite hard to decapitate someone with a kitchen knife so whoever did it must have been determined, and to do it in front of people in a cafe shows he must have been pretty crazy too. In the article it says they were "Virginia Tech" students, that's where those terrible shootings happened quite recently too. You have to wonder why so many crazy violent things are happening to that college.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

Yeah... to remove any parts from a chicken is already tough. Let alone remove the head from a person! In a cafeteria too! He must have really gone bonkers at the moment in time. And super strong too. Cos he need to subdue the girl first before he can perform his gristly deed!

And yeah, I too wonder why so many killings are happening to the same school within a short period of time. Other unnatural forces at work, you think?


myLot reputation of 99/100. nancyrowina (2228)   ranked 267 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

Or maybe they pressure the kids too much to do well and they go crazy or something.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

That is one possibility. We cannot rule anything out at this moment.

myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

Like I said, this could be a crime of passion.
Nothing in the reports available are indicting anything.
And I am still looking out for more updates to no avail.

It is kinda scary isn't it? People now a days are always turning to violence to resolve some argument.

it's sad especially when the both of them are from the same place.

like "kampong" aka village friends.

i bet it's some relationship problems. but honestly how on earth can a head be decapitated with a knife? I'm thinking those blunt knifes we find at cafes. How did he saw through her bones man.

It's either that or he guy study too much until crazy already. Because he phD right. Permanent Head Damage. doh


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

Looking at the way things are, it is either studying at Virginia Tech is really stressful. Or his relationship with this girl gone sour. Or he being an asian, has been bullied once too many times in a foreign country and find it a last straw when a fellow asian bullies him as well?

There are so many possibilities. Nothing concrete yet. The news are not reporting any new updates to the story just yet. Will be keeping a look out.

It's a tragic story. I feel terrible for the young woman and her family, but also for the Virginia Tech community, because they've had two tragic events in the last couple of years.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

Yeah, condolences to the girl's family.

Makes one wonder why Virginia Tech is having such tragic events so close to each other, doesn't it?

There was an article in our local papers about a week ago about this incident. Basically all they said is that the girl and the accused suspect were together in a restaurant and patrons said he just went biserk. There was no mention as to how the beheading was done or anything more. I find it hard to imagine anyone getting beheaded by a steak knife. There have been nothing else since that time either on the TV news or in the papers. It is almost as they are covering the whole thing up for some reason.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

Yeah, I too am reading the same report too.
Not many details, unlike the previous shooting incident.
It is like there is something more to this particular case than the other.
Wonder what they are trying to cover up.

Even on the internet, it is all hush hush about this particular incident.

No motive, possibly cycological(how you spell it?:P) problems, or a disagreement that went to far.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

He he he he... the word is psychological.

It is possible. Right now, we can only speculate the reason behind the attack.
There is very little details reported about this incident other than the article posted above.

That is sickening! I believe it was one of three things: Either it was a crime of passion, (usually known as over kill), or she somehow dis-honered or shamed the family, or he was totally insane! What made him do it we will probably never know but I sure hope the monster gets what he deserves!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

Yeah, that is what I am thinking as well.
Caught in a place far away from home. Surrounded in an environment that is stressful.
Couple it with not many friends or relatives to gripe to. It is the perfect conditions for a time bomb waiting to explode.

And the incident with this girl, what ever it may be, was the trigger that made him, well, explode!
The news are not following up on this case much. I wonder why.

Thats just sad. I cant believe how people are. I hope he gets what he deserves for doing that. And I cant believe he did it with other people witnessing it. Between that and the other killings that happend there I would never want to go to that school and if I was already going there I would leave asap.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

Yeah, the school is in for a major overhaul of its image after this.

I guess the killer must be so mad, he is oblivious to the environment he was in when he did the killing. Something about tunnel vision or something I guess. Like a cat targeting its prey when it is ready to attack.

I sure hope there are more reports about this in the papers so that we can all understand what is going on.

hmm.... you never know the reason why someone would do that.... did you guys hear about the alberta decaptivation.... where this chinese guy slayed and decaptivated this young guy on the bus..... in the student case.. maybe he liked her.. but she spurned him maybe... a person may do many things if spurned....... in the bus case.. maybe he was discriminated against in his work place..and thats why he killed the first person he saw... maybe mentally disturbed......


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 14 out of 4,344 in have discussion on day to day issues  4 years ago

The Alberta decapitation also happened recently, right?

Well, when one is bullied and spurned once too many times, he may do crazy things out of the blue. Like a bottle of soda that is shaken once too many times. The contends will just explode out of the bottle suddenly cos the cap cannot hold the pressure that is built up inside the bottle.

Sad isn't it?
