Attack Caught on Cam

It's been a long time since my last post here. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just have to share this morbid news that I picked up from The Korea Herald:

Qian Liu, a 23-year-old Chinese student at York University in Ontario was found half-naked and dead in her apartment by the Toronto police. This was a couple of hours after a friend from China called up other friends in Toronto, who, in turn, contacted the police.

Qian Liu and her friend were chatting via webcam at 1:00 in the morning on Friday, when a yet unidentified man knocked on her door. A struggle ensued, and everything was witnessed by Liu's friend in China until the webcam was finally shut off. Unfortunately, everything was on live streaming and wasn't recorded. For the full story, read "Chinese student's last moments witnessed on webcam" on The Korea Herald.

You'd think it's stuff urban legends are made of, but unfortunately, it's not. What would you have done if you were Qian Liu's friend?
