And they are all International students who were murdered by local residents in Queensland in the last year.

The latest one was French student Sophie Collombet whose body was found and the guy was caught. She was loved by everyone.

Another one was found dead in her hotel room. Meena Nanrayan was a student at QUT doing her Masters in Business. She came to Australia in Feb 2013.  She was murdered by an Indian national which they were supposed to be married. 

Two Korean students Eujin Ban and Min Tae Kim (both 22 years old) were murdered in a lonely quiet place in the early hours of the morning.

The parents of the four victims were devastated as well as teary.

The lessons learnt: Be aware of your surroundings and don't walk in quiet dark laneways.

CISA, Meld and the team at RMIT Newintstudents is concerned about the International student safety. We always feel sad and uneasy for them when things like this happens. We want International students to have a good time in our country, rather than having uneasy memories.

In Melbourne an Indian student was stabbed late last year at Federation square. In 2009-2010 a lot of Indians were attacked. We hope that this year is a lot better for International students.
