WTF! STUDENT STABS A PRINCIPAL TO DEATH BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIKE HER!

A 17-year-old student in Tennessee brutally stabbed his high school principal to death while the two were alone in a classroom, police said.

Eduardo Marmolejo, an 11th-grader at Memphis Junior Academy, admitted to police that he had planned to kill principal Suzette York, 49, for several months because he didn't like her, The Commercial Appeal newspaper reported.

"[Marmolejo] admitted that he had stabbed his teacher ... multiple times because he did not like her and she made him angry," cops said.

"[He] said that he had been planning to kill Mrs. York since May 2011, when he learned he would be returning to [school]."

A teacher discovered York's body in a pool of blood in a classroom at around 11 a.m. on Wednesday. She was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Marmolejo was arrested at the school and taken to a juvenile detention center. He faces a charge of first-degree murder.

Cops said the maniacal teen plotted the attack for Wednesday morning because he knew he and York would be alone.

Only around 100 students attend the private academy, which is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist church, and Marmolejo was the only 11th-grader.

The gruesome slaying shattered parents, teachers and students in the church's east Memphis community.

"She was really a wonderful person," York's pastor, Don Rittershamp, told The Commercial Appeal. "She was as dedicated to doing her job as anybody I've ever met."

Originally from Canada, York became principal in 2008.

She taught science and math at the school in the 1990s but left to teach in Canada for a few years before returning to take the top job.

Current and former students said York was a caring, attentive teacher who always made herself available after class.

"She cared. She took the time if you didn't understand it," former student Brittany Bridges told The Commercial Appeal.

"She was a wonderful person who was very much involved with her students," said Peter Hunter, another ex-student whose 6-year-old cousin goes to the school. "This was not the way she was supposed to go."

About 30 people gathered at a Methodist Church for an impromptu prayer service on Wednesday afternoon, some three hours after the murder.

"We are afraid," the Rev. Scottie Brafford said during the service, referring to recent violence in Norway and elsewhere. "We do not know where the bottom is any longer."
