Reena Virk (March 10, 1983 – November 14, 1997) was a 14-year-old
Canadian girl, who was beaten by a group of teenagers and then murdered by two of those teenagers, in
Saanich, British Columbia, Canada. Her status as a victim of bullying prior to her murder attracted substantial media attention in Canada. Eight teenagers were tried and convicted in relation to her death; six involved in the beating received sentences ranging from 60-day
conditional sentences to one year in jail, while the two who killed Virk were convicted of
second-degree murder and given
life sentences.
The Globe and Mail commented at the time that her case was "elevated into a national tragedy".
[1] A pair of Canadian
sociologists have described the case as a watershed moment for a "
moral panic" over girl violence by the Canadian public in the late 1990s
