Reena Virk was a fourteen year old teen from Saanich, British Columbia. She would have been turning fifteen on March 10, 1983 but sadly, she never made it.
Reena was originally from India and transferred to Canada as a child. Her immediate family was described as ‘a minority within a minority’, as they were of the Jehovah’s Witness religion in the local South Asian community of 3,000 which was predominantly Sikh.
She always had a hard time in school, constantly getting bullied due to her accent and looks and because she was ‘different’.
On the night of Friday November 14, 1997, Reena was invited to a ‘party’ by her friend near the Craigflower Bridge, a popular hangout spot, west of the city of Victoria, British Columbia. She heard rumors that her bullies were going to go there and ‘beat her up’ but that didn’t stop her from continuing her life. At first everything was fine, Reena was enjoying herself and the group were said to be drinking and smoking. But then, the ‘Shoreline Six’ arrived, a group of girls known to bully Reena. They swarmed the teen. Ripeace online Horrific True Stories article
