At first glance, it’s nothing.
Just another empty school corridor.
Lockers line the wall.
Fluorescent lights hum overhead.

But then — look closer.

A figure leans against the lockers.
Hands in pockets.
Waiting. Watching.

Not for a friend.
For a victim.

October 22, 2013.
CCTV catches a 14-year-old student in this moment — the seconds before a crime that would shock the world.

He wasn’t waiting for class.
He was waiting for his teacher.

Moments later, he followed her into the bathroom.
Investigators say he attacked her.
Assaulted her.
Murdered her.

Then, in a detail that still chills those who know the case,
he dragged her body outside
and stuffed it into a school trash can.

She was just 24.
Beloved by students.
Respected by colleagues.
Her life ended in the very place she had devoted herself to inspiring young minds.

When police questioned him,
there was no panic.
No tears.
Only cold, matter-of-fact answers.

That CCTV still is unforgettable:
An empty hallway.
A casual lean.
And the awful knowledge of what came next.

That day, innocence didn’t just fade from that school.
It was stolen.
