Murder Story

On October 29, 1992, Lester Wayne Virgil committed a brutal murder at the Donut Inn in Gardena, California. He targeted Soy Song Lao, a 22-year-old female store clerk. Virgil waited until she was alone before he attacked. He grabbed her and forced her into a bathroom at knife-point. There, he gagged her and tied her up using two aprons and a small hand towel.

Virgil then stabbed Lao with a knife thirty times. After the attack, he calmly walked away. He took $12 from the cash register before leaving the scene, even while customers were present at the shop.

A few days later, Virgil attacked another victim. He stabbed a motel maid twenty times during a robbery and attempted rape, but she survived. After his capture, he was described in court as a "vicious, savage animal." Lester Wayne Virgil was sentenced to death on June 29, 1995.
