Genesia Mattril Gresham, 19, and colleague Anamarie Sannicolas Camacho, 20, were shot dead at the Naval Support Activity Base, Juffair, at around 5am on Monday. Their alleged killer, fellow serviceman Clarence Jackson, 20, is clinging to life after apparently shooting himself in the head immediately after the murders.

Jackson had a restraining order against him and had been on suicide watch, after he allegedly attacked Miss Gresham less than four months ago, her mother Anita told the GDN from the US.

She blamed officials for leaving her daughter exposed to danger from a man she said turned nasty when she tried to cool their "casual" relationship.

4. She was so beautiful.

This is very tragic. I am so sorry. Your suffering must be so terrible right now. It will get better, but will never go away, especially considering the way she died. Women are never protected as they should be from territorial, insane men. May she rest in peace, as well Anamarie.
