She's charged with premeditated murder which is as serious as it can get. Wait for more information as currently there is only her mother's comment that she is terrified. If I was up on that charge I would be terrified too.
Yet another young person who thinks that there are no risks to travelling abroad to meet someone. Are they not aware of what has happened to others? Ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse.
