A New Zealand woman, Courtney Sau, 19, studying criminal justice in the United States has been stabbed to death with broken beer bottles and steak knives.

Ms Sau will be buried in her hometown of Auckland, though staff at Bridgewater State College, in Massachusetts, where she was a first-year student, have said they will hold a memorial service for her.

Two 20-year-old women, Carla Carvalho and her friend, Karen Cordeiro, both from the same address in Fall River, Massachusetts, have been charged with murder, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, in connection with Ms Sau's death, according to the local newspaper the Fall River Herald.

They are accused of using broken beer bottles and steak knives to stab Ms Sau to death outside their home last Friday, after a feud between Cordeiro and Ms Sau over a former boyfriend.

She should have had a Glock. Or maybe we should ban steak knives and beer bottles.

It is amazing how much people will do over their significant other that may not want them anyway. :(

The article said she was intelligent and studying to be a police officer. It also says she agreed to meet them and have a fight. Those two statements don't go together.

It is a sad deal but she doesn't sound like she was too bright. Her family is now left holding the bag because she is gone. Only 19 yrs old and traveled half way around the globe for what? To wind up dead over bullshit. Kids. :wha':
