Former Va. Tech student pleads guilty to murder:

Ex-Va. Tech student pleads guilty in decapitation:

26-year-old Haiyang Zhu is the former Virginia Tech student from China who stabbed and decapitated fellow Chinese student Yang Xin at a cafe on Virginia Tech campus.

Now think about that for a second. He took a kitchen knife and basically sawed her head off in front of witnesses. Can you imagine how long that must have taken. Not only that but the sick son of a bitch had her head in his hands when police arrived.

Now Zhu has pleaded guilty to Ms. Yang's brutal murder and the details about just how sick he was have finally been revealed.

We knew that he killed her because he was attracted to her and he rejected her but his level of psychopathy and arrogance was off the charts.

At the time of her murder Zhu was armed with the butcher knife he used to kill her, two more knives and a claw hammer. He called her about 20 times after buying the weapons. Ms. Yang supposedly rejected Zhu's advances because she had a boyfriend that she planned to marry. In letters he wrote in custody Zhu said he had to kill her because "He loved her too much" and "Yang's boyfriend could not compare to him in education and background, and that she should have made the sensible decision to marry him instead."

Even when he wntered his plea he just seemed like he was dripping with arrogance to me. Even with the simple sentence of "Your honor, I plead guilty."

His guilty plea spares him from the death penalty however he is looking at life without parole when he is sentenced in April.
