Reena's murder and the sustained bullying that had taken place before it became the the focus of intense media coverage and public speculation. There were other factors at play - the suspects were mostly teenage girls, the victim was of Asian heritage and there was a racial aspect to the crime.
Virk's parents were Jehovah's Witnesses ("a minority within a minority") and their strict religious views may have led to Leena rebelling at school inn attempt to gain acceptance from the very people who planned and carried out the attack upon her that led to her death.
The murder by forcible drowning appears in the first episode the show but Reena's story continues to be told and developed by virtue of the inclusion of fictionalized versions of author Godfrey and police officer Cam Bentland in the script.
