*From the wikiReena Virk (March 10, 1983 – November 14, 1997) was a 14-year-old Canadian girl, who was beaten by a group of teenagers and then murdered by two of those teenagers, in Saanich, British Columbia, Canada. Her status as a victim of bullying prior to her murder attracted substantial media attention in Canada. Eight teenagers were tried and convicted in relation to her death; six involved in the beating received sentences ranging from 60-day conditional sentences to one year in jail, while the two who killed Virk were convicted of second-degree murder and given life sentences. The Globe and Mail commented at the time that her case was "elevated into a national tragedy".[1] A pair of Canadian sociologists have described the case as a watershed moment for a "moral panic" over girl violence by the Canadian public in the late 1990sBe good, Stay safe and Laugh at the Dark Stuff! #comedy #crime #truecrime #wildman Support your brothers at: www.patreon.com/Brotherscommonplace Contact: [email protected] Please Like and Subscribe!
