[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jung-wan] The graffiti related to the 'on-campus sexual assault and fall death' incident recently discovered in various locations at Inha University has been confirmed to be the act of an outsider.

On the 23rd, the Michuhol Police Station in Incheon announced that a man in his 40s, Mr. A, was booked without detention on charges of property damage.

According to the police, Mr. A is suspected of damaging facilities by spray-painting graffiti in seven locations on the Inha University campus in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, at around 7:50 a.m. on the 18th.

The graffiti left by Mr. A read "REMEMBER 0715," with July 15 being the date when the sexual assault and fall death incident occurred on the university campus.

During the police investigation, Mr. A reportedly stated, "I did it because I did not want this incident to be forgotten."

At that time, the graffiti was found at the entrance of the five-story college building where the female victim was found dead, as well as on the exterior walls of the building, and the university removed it. The police, upon receiving the report, identified Mr. A's identity through nearby closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

Earlier, a first-year student at the school, Mr. B (20), was arrested and indicted on charges of causing the death of a fellow female student, Ms. C, by attempting to sexually assault her and causing her to fall from the five-story college building on the Inha University campus in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, in the early hours of the 15th of last month.
