One fateful winter night, 14-year-old Reena Virk left to go to the party, not knowing that she would be brutally murdered by her classmates.
The teenager’s tragic death is now being told in Hulu’s Under The Bridge, which raises questions about where her killers are today – including Warren Glowatski.
Who is Warren Glowatski?
Born and raised in Canada, Warren Glowatski is a convicted murderer.
He is one of two people found guilty of murdering 14-year-old Reena Virk.
Glowatski was just 16 years old when he committed the heinous crime that shocked his home country of Canada.
He was convicted of Reena’s murder alongside her friend Kelly Ellard.

What was Warren Glowatski’s role in Reena Virk’s murder?
On November 14, 1997, the life of 14-year-old Canadian teenager Reena Virk came to a brutal end.
On this fateful night, the 14-year-old went to a party near the Craigflower Bridge in Saanich, British Columbia.
While there, a group of teenagers, most under the influence of marijuana and alcohol, surrounded Reena.
Witnesses recalled the group, later dubbed “The Shoreline Six,” beating the teenager mercilessly.
They kicked, punched and slapped her, put cigarettes out on her face and body and tried to set her hair on fire.
Despite her injuries, Reena managed to escape them.
She was followed by a member of the group – Kelly Ellard – and Warren Glowatski, a 16-year-old teenager who, for unknown reasons, decided to get involved in the fight.
Both Ellard and Glowatski were later accused of holding Virk’s head underwater, essentially drowning her, although both denied the allegations.

The pair, however, managed to drag her to the other side of the bridge, where they allegedly continued to beat her before rolling her unconscious body into the water.
Eight days after Reener’s murder, his body was found on the beach in nearby George Inlet on November 22, 1997.
A coroner confirmed that she had drowned, although an autopsy also revealed that her head injuries were so severe that she likely would have died regardless of drowning.
