Stalking is a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. Victimconnect.org

Thomas Whitney came out late in life and when he met Lawrence Wong he thought his life had finally begun. Instead, a relentless campaign of obsession would culminate in an act of violent brutality. Whitney and Wong were murdered one day after Wong’s 51st birthday.

The pair were both classical musical talents and seemed to everyone who knew them a happy pair. Vincent Choy Cheung even according to his mother Cheung has led a troubled life including emotional tumult and criminal activities including theft that led to him being ordered to leave the United States.

You might ask yourself, what would I do if my date wouldn’t stay away, inundated you with gifts and cards? How long would it take you to call the police?
