A teacher has been brutally r*ped, strangled and killed by a 14-year-old student who tracked her to the school's toilet before brutally ending her life.
Collen caught on CCTV camera seconds before she was raped, stabbed and killed by a student
The haunting moments before a teacher was brutally raped and murdered by a 14-year-old student has been released after the footage was captured on camera. Colleen Ritzer can be seen walking down her school corridor as she smiles to herself before her killer Philip Chism is caught following her with his hood up.
The haunting CCTV footage then shows the oblivious 24-year-old walking into the toilets before Chism follows her in.
The teen student then brutally raped, strangled and stabbed her “at least 16 times” to death with a box cutter.

Heartless Chism then hauled her body into a large black recycling bin before wheeling her into the hall at Danvers High School in Massachusetts.
After further sexually assaulting her body the teenager took her wallet and dumped her into a shallow grave in a nearby woods.
Within hours, police found Colleen’s half-naked body with a note nearby that read: "I hate you all."
Officers picked the teen up as he walked along a local highway and he allegedly confessed in custody.
Chism added: "After she insulted me, that’s when I became the teacher."
The defendant, now 16, admitted killing his teacher in court, but pleaded not guilty on the grounds of insanity.
The defence said the teen suffered with mental illness and claimed he was having a psychotic episode when he attacked the teacher.

But medical experts said his symptoms were inconsistent and he did know the difference between right and wrong.
The jury found him guilty of first-degree murder, rape and armed robbery for stealing her credit cards after two days of deliberating.
Colleen’s father Thomas said of the sentencing: “I didn’t protect Colleen.
"A dad’s job is to fix things. I would do anything I could if I could fix this for Colleen."
Chism was sentenced to a total of 40 years in prison.
