Murder of Yang Xin[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This does not seem any different than the countless crimes and murders that happen everyday. The only reason it received more attention than most other cases is because it occurred at the same university where the U.S.'s deadliest school massacre took place less than two years earlier. I have not been able to find a full biography (i.e. birth place, previous life, and family) about the the killer or victim. The racist comments and letters that followed were not solely or directly because of Yang Xin's murder, which was not racially motivated, and since her killer has already been charged and sentenced to life in prison without parole, it is very unlikely anything new about the case will happen and therefore, the chances of this article ever expanding are slim.
