Such a sad, senseless act of cruelty! My heart goes out to both families of Hser Nay Moo and Esar Met. Since both live in the same community, I hope that sorrow and hurt can give way to forgiveness and love. Let's all pray for them, and if we can, donate to the Wah family's fund toward their expenses for the funeral.

I shudder just thinking of the autopsy report to come. It made my wife and I cry in sadness for the girl, and her family, and our community. I am affraid to find out what he did to her before her death.

I know it is a rush to publish this stuff, but there are a few mistakes.

"...speaking through in interpreter,"

The next one might be technically OK, but it is either a mistake, or sloppy.

"Mar said she had not spoken to her son since his arrest or on Tuesday."

It looks like the suspects family has caught on to the American way of take no responsibility and deny deny deny. Of course, thats 'if' he did it.

We teach our children to pray for help when in time of need and yet in reality it makes no difference to any outcome.

The safety of American Citizens need to come first. It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that our country doesn't know what type of people are coming into this country (legally and illegally).
Did you know that most so called 'refugees' LIE inorder to get into our country?

Before you start foaming at the mouth with "That's intolerant/racist" Read it and Weep!

This is terrible! My condolenses to the Moo family.

very tragic, I hope that the family can find some peace. As for the young man I'm sure he will get what is coming his way in bad carma. It sounds like the bad apple didn't fall too far from the tree. Maybe mother never allowed the young man to accept the consequences of his choices. we ought to deport the whole disfuntional family.

Why were Met's roommates evicted? Were they in violation of their lease? Are they accused as accomplices? Whether citizens, refugees or other, they still have some basic constitutional rights, including the presumption of innocence. Even if they were violating their lease, there is a due process time line for an eviction to take place. So now where are the roommates, in case police need to question one or more of them?

As to certain comments above... What is America? The first safe haven for the worlds refugees. The melting pot!
I am ashamed to know that there "legal citizens" in this wonderful free country, that could be so narrow minded to think that the rest of the world produces lier's cheats and murders. Do we even know what type of people are born and raised right here on our own soil?
No!

The fact of the matter is a person, a little girl was taken unjustly from this earth. We should not worry from where the accused came from. We should worry about how we can teach future generations to stop and see the signs.Teach them to be positive and productive individuals in this world! Teach them that we should grieve for the lost of another human no matter what the race or circumstance.
Deportment is not the answer, that only breads more unjust action. Having the accused pay for there crime through our laws teaches others that crime is not acceptable. Yes, even in America!

Why do people have to mess with the lives of others so often. Don't they know how much sadness they cause?

You are right, Anonymous.
Deportation is not the answer, at least not in this case. It only allows the perpetrator to continue to victimize others. Criminals should pay for their crimes regardless of nationality or status.
Whoever did this horrendous deed can never really pay for it, however, because he cannot restore this little child to her family unharmed. That would have been the only way he could have paid and now he can't. He should be locked up forever so he cannot do this to anyone else.
It's a tragedy for little Moo and her family, and for the perpetrator and his family as well.
These sorts of crimes happen among every level of society and in every country.
How can we stop them?
It would not surprise me to know that this predator was a victim himself at some time, as many are.
However, that isn't an excuse. It's still a choice, whether to pass on the violence or stop it.

To anyone reading this, if you need help, get it.
Have courage, do the right thing. Don't become another violent perpetrator of tragic events like this.

To the person who asked why the suspect's roommates were evicted, one fact is glaringly obvious...their apartment is now a CRIME SCENE, especially the only bathroom in the unit, where the little girl's body was found and where she was most likely murdered.

The DNA in a bathroom crime scene can become contaminated very quickly, and so it must remain inaccessible to all but the crime scene investigators until the analysis is complete.

The question as to how a child's body could have remained "hidden" in a small bathroom shared by 5 single adult males, for so long without being noticed by any of them while they each did their "business" there, is another matter entirely. Unless the 4 who have not yet been accused are legally blind, I would think that the facts seem to raise the suspicion of collusion of some kind among the 5 roommates.

only one of five arrested?
how can room ates use the same bathroom the child was found in and not be charged or at least detained as accomplices?
police need to tell more of the story as to why only ONE of the 5 single men living there were arrested.
perhaps this girl was killed elsewhere and just recently moved there but I didn't see anything about the inhabitants reporting the body--MAYbe it was a set up (some one else killed her and moved her there -- the reports have been too vague.
CSI where are you?
I"m sorry such sick people exist in this world-no child or family should have to go through this. I hope the ones who actually did this crime are found and removed from society before more kids perish I pray that this innocent little girl and her relatives can find peace.

I knew about the story when a friend of mine who volunteered for the search told me the news. I hope the family gets all the support they need especially spiritually. I mean, its not easy to look back and reminisce the memories of someone you loved so much and wake up to the reality of a child. Whoever did that is totally sick and must pay for the crime he committed., deportment doesn't solve anything., why? if they do, would they bring back the girl's life? NO! Justice through a due process is the best way to give peace to the family.., and i think that is wat Moo would like to happen.. not things boiling down to some kind of racial discrimation or something.

One thought comes to mind, in our country aren't people innocent until proven guilty?
