The hip hop star paid tribute to the Dublin University student on Twitter. She tweeted “Saddened to learn one of my precious fans; found tragically murdered in Japan. My love & prayers are with the family of Nicola Furlong.”
Minaj also tweeted a picture of Furlong.
Perez Hilton had said the two men being questioned by the police were among her backup dancers.
Minaj corrected Hilton quickly. She said “My dancers had nothing to do with this tragedy. No one in my entourage was questioned or arrested. They all flew home from Japan.”
Furlong’s body arrived at Dublin Airport on Thursday morning. Her body will be laid to rest on this weekend, according to TV3.

from the other story it seems their drinks were spiked and she died defending her honour. Hope this is a wake-up call to those in Ireland and the same age group who seem to presume that booze and sexual activity go together when they do not for a normal brain and too many men see women as objects.
