A female Virginia Tech student was decapitated with a kitchen knife at the campus cafe on the night of January 21. Her alleged murderer, a graduate student from China, has been arrested. This incident marks the first killing after the fateful campus massacre in April 2007.

Twenty-five-year-old Haiyang Zhu is being charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond. The victim, 22-year-old graduate student Xin Yang, arrived at the campus earlier in the month from Beijing.
