The murder took place in Brickebacken outside the city center, where many exchange students live. Since it happened in the middle of the afternoon, there were many witnesses.

Another exchange student has admitted that he killed the woman. Witnesses say the woman was lying on the ground when the man stabbed her in the chest. Several people ran to the man and held him until the police and ambulance arrived. The woman later passed away at the hospital.

John Hamben from the Chinese National Federation in Sweden says to local newspaper Nerikes Allehanda that the motive seems to have been that the woman had rejected the man.

YES We have a long history, but NEVER has it been as dark as the latest 62 years. Communists dont just take away our money, but our heart. The Chinese people, friendly in nature, have been suppressed by the totalitarian regime. Imagine your son was poisoned by a milk powder manufacturer and you complain about it in public, and what? You are arrested. When the alike happan every day, one can turn into a devil when something sparks their nerve. I am not only living in China, I grew up there.

If this happens in China it won´t be as shocking, because similar news happen very frequently. We Chinese had had a Confucius tradition of mutual respect and humamity, until the commies wiped it all away after the fall of china in 1949. people living in a civilised world cannot understand how the education (aka brainwashing) in communist china ruins the our lives and spirits. I feel sad for the girl.

This kind incident is popular in China. The real murderer is the communist governemt. The communist education system in order to make people to follow the communist dictatorship senses has made young Chinese without respect other´s life because without sense about human rights without the sense to respect human right. Worldwide people shoud condemn the communist dictatorship education for their responsibility to cause this murder.
