The police investigating the case of a female student’s sexual assault and death on the Inha University campus conducted a field experiment. The police initially applied the charge of quasi-rape resulting in death against the male suspect, but they plan to consider applying a murder charge depending on the results of the experiment.

According to the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency on the 17th, the police are investigating the possibility that A (20), a first-year student at Inha University, intentionally pushed B, a woman in her 20s known to him, from the third floor of a college building on the Inha University campus.

The Forensic Investigation Unit of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency recently deployed investigators to the college building to conduct various experiments simulating a woman so intoxicated that she could not maintain her balance falling from a third-floor corridor window. Since the actual incident occurred in the early morning hours, the police reportedly conducted the field experiment deliberately at night.

The height from the floor of the third-floor corridor where B fell to the window frame is about 1 meter. The police assumed a scenario where a tall male officer and a shorter male officer were struggling in front of the window. They are also examining the possibility that the shorter male officer, with his upper body hanging out the window, could have fallen on his own.

A admitted to the police that B fell from the building and died but denied any intent to murder. Based on A’s statement, the police applied for an arrest warrant on the charge of “death resulting from negligence” which is used when there is no intent to kill. However, it is reported that if further investigation confirms that A intentionally pushed B from the building, the charge will be changed to murder.

Meanwhile, A is accused of sexually assaulting B and causing her to fall to her death from the third floor of a college building on the Inha University campus in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, in the early morning of the 15th. B was found collapsed inside the Inha University campus at around 3:49 a.m. that day by a passerby.
