Inha University Student Rape-Murder Suspect Caught After Leaving Phone at Scene

Request for Arrest Warrant, Autopsy of the Body Requested from National Forensic Service

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] It has been confirmed that a male student who sexually assaulted a classmate on the Inha University campus and caused her to fall to her death left his mobile phone at the crime scene, which led to his capture.

On the 16th, the Michuhol Police Station in Incheon announced that they had requested an arrest warrant for A, a man in his 20s and a first-year student at the university, on charges of rape and homicide.

In the early hours of the previous day, A is suspected of sexually assaulting B, a woman in her 20s known to him, inside a building on the Inha University campus in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, and causing her to fall to her death.

The police estimated that B was sexually assaulted on the 5th floor of the school building and then fell from the 3rd floor, resulting in her death. When A’s mobile phone was found inside the building where the crime took place, the police conducted inquiries and went to his residence.

After investigating A as a witness, the police confirmed his involvement and changed his status to suspect, subsequently making an urgent arrest.

It is reported that A admitted to a significant portion of the charges during this process. The police are investigating whether A pushed B out of the window after the sexual assault.

B’s upper clothing was found at the fall site. However, since the pants and underwear believed to have been worn by her were found elsewhere on campus, the police are also examining the possibility that A attempted to destroy evidence.

CCTV footage near the crime scene confirmed that A and B were together. The police verified that they had been drinking together and that no other companions were present in the school building at the time of the crime.

B was found collapsed inside the Inha University campus at around 3:49 a.m. the previous day by a passerby. At the time of discovery, B’s clothes were removed, and she was reported to have suffered heavy bleeding on her head, ears, and mouth. She was transported to the hospital by the 119 emergency medical team in a state of cardiac arrest but ultimately passed away.

Meanwhile, the police have requested an autopsy from the National Forensic Service to determine the cause of B’s death.
