Oh my, this is so sad. How awful for the poor young girl. She had her whole life ahead of her. I hope that the perpetrator is swiftly brought to "justice" and receives a punishment equal to the crime. May Xin's soul rest in peace. Sad day to hear these awful things happening.

This is very sad! We need no more deaths as this. We have just entered into a new year, and this has happened! Why are people so cruel to one another? It does not make any sense! Life just seems to get worse before it can get any better! What sadness to the girl's family. This reminds me of the movie, The Grudge. I am so tired of hearing about the tragic stories of what we all have to face with one another that allows to inflict such pain.. Why can't all the madness stop??? This is such a sad and tragic way to die! May the Lord Almighty have mercy on this guy's soul!!!!

That is terrible. I wander why someone would do this to a person? That is so sad. I hope they find out who did this.

Hi Bd200789! I followed the link you posted and read the news; however I can't find anything said that has incriminated Haiyang or any evidence that will link him to be the suspect except for the witnesses; account that they were seen in the coffee shop together before the murder took place. But it is still sad that it has to happen to Xin Yang and my prayers for her and her family. Take care and Blessings to you! lovelots..faith210

What is the issue with Virginia Tech. Sounds like they need to beef up their security. It seems like something bad happens there way too often.

This is really sad! Only 22 years old! She hadn't even been a student there for long. This is really a terrible way enter college. You think that you're going to have fun in college and learn, but it is quickly ended by a murderer. Not to mention that she wasn't in her native country. She was already so far from her parents. I feel so sorry for the young woman and her family.
