Summary

Episode 068 - Troubled 14-year-old Reena Virk had been missing for a week when her battered, semi-nude body was plucked from the water in the Gorge under the Craigflower bridge in Victoria, B.C., on November 22, 1997. Reena had initially been lured to a spot by friends, then swarmed and savagely beaten by a group of 8 youths, that consisted mostly of girls between 14 and 16. After staggering away Reena was followed by a male and female who further beat and then murdered her to 'keep her quiet". A story of 'bad girls', bullying, racism and murder emerged shocking the nation. The quest for justice for Reena was not a straight nor easy path.Research: Rebecca McNallDisclaimer read by: Tyler Allen of The Minds of Madness Podcast Sources:Reena: A Father's Story by Manjit VirkUnder the Bridge by Rebecca GodfreyVICE article on Reena VirkCourt Documents about the Reena Virk murderGLOBAL NEWS: Timeline: Reena Virk murder and the trials of Kelly EllardGLOBAL NEWS: Mother of murdered B.C. teen Reena Virk dies in ‘tragic accident’GLOBAL NEWS: Reena Virk’s killer Kelly Ellard gets new extension on day paroleWikipedia Article on Reena Virk Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/darkpoutine Learn more about your ad choices.
