[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] An expert emphasized that male student A (20), who was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a female classmate on the Inha University campus and causing her death by fall, did not surrender but admitted to the crime. Regarding the charges, it was analyzed that it could be classified as rape-murder, assuming the intent to kill is confirmed.

On the 18th, Dr. Seung Jae-hyun of the Korea Institute of Criminology and Justice Policy stated in an interview with YTN, "In fact, (A) did not surrender. The police called (A) because his cellphone was at the scene, and he answered," adding, "After answering the call, he admitted to part of the crime at that time."

Regarding the circumstances of evidence tampering, he explained, "The issue is that (A) reportedly placed several pieces of the victim’s clothing at a location other than the crime scene, which constitutes evidence tampering. Although tampering with evidence of one’s own crime is not punishable, this is also a circumstance after the crime, and such post-crime circumstances can be considered in sentencing, so it clearly serves as an aggravating factor."

Earlier, A is accused of sexually assaulting a female classmate B (in her 20s) on the third floor of a college building on the Inha University campus in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, around 1 a.m. on the 15th, and causing her death by fall.
