根据弗吉尼亚理工大学警方网站上公布的声明,美国东部时间21日晚7时(北京时间22日早8时),凶杀事件发生在该校研究生生活中心楼一层的一家餐馆内。警方证实,死者名为杨欣(音译),现年22岁,来自中国北京,1月8日刚刚抵达美国,在弗吉尼亚理工大学学习会计学。凶杀嫌疑人名为朱海洋(音译),现年25岁,来自中国宁波,于2008年秋季入学,攻读农业和应用经济学博士学位。根据校方提供的紧急联络人档案,被害人和嫌疑人相互认识。
现场一些目击者说,朱海洋和杨欣当时同在餐馆里喝咖啡,事先没有发生口角,但朱海洋突然持刀袭击杨欣(头给砍下来了。。。),造成后者当场死亡。朱海洋目前被控一级谋杀罪名,被关押在弗吉尼亚州蒙特马利县监狱,不得保释。
警方说,校方关注在校学生、特别是中国学生的生活,已安排心理辅导人员在研究生生活中心向学生和教职员工提供必要帮助。校方说,校内其他中国学生目前情况良好。
弗吉尼亚理工大学曾在2007年发生震惊美国乃至世界的校园枪击案,造成包括凶手在内的33人死亡。 ”
(CNN) -- A female graduate student at Virginia Tech was killed Wednesday night when a man she knew attacked her with a knife and decapitated her, a school spokesman said.
Virginia Tech police Chief Wendell Flinchum talks about the first slaying on campus since the 2007 shootings.
Virginia Tech spokesman Mark Owczarski said Thursday that Xin Yang's killing was the first on the campus since April 16, 2007, when a shooter killed 32 people before turning a gun on himself.
Yang, 22, from Beijing, China, was killed at the Au Bon Pain restaurant in the Graduate Life Center at around 7 p.m., school spokesman Larry Hincker said in a written statement.
Campus police took Haiyang Zhu, 25, into custody at the scene. The Ningbo, China, native has been charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail at a local jail, Hincker said.
Zhu did not say anything to the arresting officers, said campus police Chief Wendell Flinchum.
"There was blood on him," Flinchum said. The young woman and the suspect "were not seen arguing, or anything of that nature," he added, citing witness statements.
Authorities said the two students knew each other. "Based on emergency contact records maintained by the university, it is known that Zhu and Yang knew each other," Hincker said. No other details were provided.
The young woman arrived at the university two weeks ago to begin studies in accounting, he said in the statement.
Zhu is a graduate student pursuing a doctorate in agricultural and applied economics. He began studies at Virginia Tech in fall 2008, Hincker said.
"Our hearts go out to the victim and her family," President Charles W. Steger said in a letter to the campus community.
"An act of violence like this one brings back memories of the April 16 tragedy and I have no doubt that many of us feel especially distraught."
Authorities say on April 16, 2007, Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 students and professors before killing himself.
