Rejected student strangles best friend after she dismissed their lesbian fling as an "experiment"

When Jessica Ewing knocked on the door of fellow student Samanata Shrestha’s apartment, she had high hopes for a romantic evening. Lesbian Jessica had a big crush on her female friend, so had worn a dress to look her best and brought wine to be a gracious guest.

 

But when Samanata opened the door wearing jogging bottoms, it was clear she didn’t have the same expectations. What lay ahead was a night of disappointments that would end in murder.

 

Jessica, 24, and Samanata, also known as Sam, 21, were both students at Virginia Tech in Virginia, USA. Jessica was studying biology and fisheries, and was a top female military cadet on campus. Sam was also studying biology and was destined for a prestigious medical career. She volunteered as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).

 

Jessica and Samanata had met a handful of times and had once shared a kiss. But Sam had a boyfriend, Scott, who had already graduated. He knew about the kiss and they’d both put it down to harmless sexual experimentation. Sam had simply been curious – while Jessica was head over heels in love.

Lashed out

Samanata invited Jessica over to her flat for a home-cooked meal on 7 February 2014. Jessica excitedly saw the night as a date, and a text she sent another friend at 3am on the morning of the dinner showed she was feeling the pressure.

 

It said, "Tomorrow night is worrisome… I can’t stop this idea, it slowly creeped its way to consume my black heart. I want to… let someone else decide, but I’ve already etched it in history."

 

When asked what the message meant Jessica replied saying it was "just nonsense". Later Jessica would say the text referred to the possibility of sex with Samanata – but when the night unfolded, the words would seem far more ominous.

 

When Jessica arrived at Sam’s flat looking her best, she was disappointed to find Sam wearing jogging bottoms and a T-shirt. Eventually she changed into a dress, but Jessica was already irritated.

 

Sam had cooked a meal, but it was clear the ‘date’ wasn’t as special to her. After they ate, they had a whipped cream fight and built a fort out of blankets.

 

Jessica later said they’d ‘experimented sexually’, but she quickly realised Sam wasn’t serious and they started to argue. While Jessica had deep feelings for her friend, Sam said the night had simply been an experiment.

 

Rejected Jessica lashed out, calling Sam spoilt because her parents paid for her flat and her car. In a rage, she strangled Sam to death. There were also blunt force injuries on her head and body. Jessica stuffed Sam’s naked body into a sleeping bag, then dumped her in the back of her Mercedes car.

 

Back at home, Jessica wrote in her diary: "What the hell is my future going to be? An eternity in prison? Death penalty?" On another page she scribbled "Gasoline – must be done tonight!" suggesting she was considering setting fire to the body. But instead she gave the car keys to her friend, Keifer Brown, who drove the car to a different location.

 

Meanwhile, Sam was reported missing. While police started their search, Jessica went to her regular bible study class and admitted to a friend that she’d killed someone. "They were a good person," she admitted. Together they phoned Jessica’s parents and she confessed, prompting them to drive the six hours to their daughter.

This is brutal. This is why infatuation is deadly, it's totally not possible to do this to someone you claim to love, kill someone because of a kiss? I was gonna reply how bad it is to lead someone on before I read the article and although it's really awful to lead someone on , am not sure 1kiss is enough to believe someone is in love with you. We really should learn how to be more responsible for our feelings thereby learning how to screen out infatuation from love, real from fake . Just killed her friend for nothing, it's sad though
