“People said he did it under the influence, and that he didn’t run away after killing her. Instead, he rushed her to a general hospital.
“I just confirmed that the girl was a student of the school, but the guy is not. Maybe he has graduated.
“The guy must have been on drugs last night It was this morning that the guy regained himself.
