One thought on “Police investigating the stabbing murder of a Costa Mesa man”
  1. Did the police release her nationality? They have already released her name , out of respect for her family I will not repeat it. The suspected killer is white Anglo-Saxon woman 22 years of age . Dam England sends us there best. Mark my words she will not be charged with murder. More like involuntary man slaughter with time served and probation
