An American student, Joshua Michals, was sentenced to life in prison for murdering his casual girlfriend, Zhe Wang, a Chinese student, at a London university. The incident occurred after Wang, who was concerned about a rash, insisted Michals get tested for STDs, which he refused. In a fit of rage, Michals stabbed and strangled Wang. The judge criticized Michals for his lack of sensitivity and rejected his self-defense claim.
