Investigation into sexual assault case 15 years ago (Daegu = Yonhap) By Sohn Dae-seong (Daegu=Yonhap News Agency) September 5, 2013, at the Daegu District Prosecutor's Office, Lee Geum-ro, the first chief prosecutor of the Daegu District Prosecutor's Office, briefs on the DNA investigation that led to the arrest of a foreign worker who fled after gang-raping a female college student returning home 15 years ago. 2013. 9. 5 > sds123 1년전 범인과 속옷 정액 DNA 같아..."검경 뭐했나" 공분 Sri Lankan 1 arrested - 2 wanted, likely to be deported (Daegu=Yonhap) By Lee Kang-il Reporter = A female university student in Daegu who was run over by a dump truck on the Guma Expressway 15 years ago was found to have been fleeing after being gang-raped by three foreigners. Later, prosecutors arrested one of the Sri Lankans who sexually assaulted the college student. On May 5, the Daegu District Public Prosecutor's Office Criminal Division 1 (Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lee Hyung-taek) arrested and indicted Sri Lankan K, 46, and dropped charges against his two accomplices, aged 44 and 39, who are living in Sri Lanka, for allegedly dragging and sexually assaulting a female university student who was returning home after drinking alcohol at a school festival. Ms. Chung Eun-hee, an 18-year-old first-year college student, was sexually assaulted at 5:30 a.m. on October 17, 1998, and was killed by a 23-ton dump truck traveling at high speed as she walked toward the median of the Kuma Expressway in a state of shock. Mr. K, who was in Korea as an industrial trainee, allegedly dragged Jeong Yang, who was returning home from Dalseo-gu, Daegu, on a bicycle to a secluded area and sexually assaulted her along with two fellow foreign workers. They put Jeongyang, who was drunk and unable to control herself, on the back of the bicycle, and then dragged her to the sexual assault location near the Gul Bridge near the Guma Expressway, with one of them pushing the bicycle and the other two holding her from both sides to prevent her from falling off the bicycle. The location of the sexual assault was a deserted rice field, but it has since been developed and used as a residential area. The men took turns sexually assaulting Zheng Yang and then fled with cash and her student ID card. Zheng Yang was disoriented after the sexual assault and was hit by a truck on the highway just a few dozen meters away. At the time, the police treated the case as a simple traffic accident without conducting a proper investigation, despite the fact that Zheng Yang's body was not wearing any underwear, which could have been related to a sexual crime. In particular, male semen DNA was detected from Jeong's underwear the day after the incident and stored at the National Institute of Scientific Investigation, but the sexual assault case was not properly investigated, claiming that she died in a 'simple car accident'. It was confirmed that Mr. K and others went to work at a factory in the Seongseok Industrial Complex on the morning of the crime and worked casually. They also told foreign workers at the same factory about their crime. However, they were unaware of the victim's death because they were unable to understand the news about the Jeongyang case due to their limited Korean language skills. Investigation into 15-year-old sexual assault case (Daegu = Yonhap) By Sohn Dae-seong Reporter = Lee Geum-ro, the first chief prosecutor of the Daegu District Prosecutors' Office, briefs a DNA investigation that led to the arrest of a foreign worker who fled after gang-raping a female college student who was returning home 15 years ago at the Daegu District Prosecutors' Office on Friday. 2013. 9. 5 > sds123 His two accomplices were caught as illegal immigrants in 2003 and 2005 and were forced to leave the country, but Mr. K married a Korean woman and continued to live in Korea as a Sri Lankan grocery importer. He traveled back and forth to Sri Lanka several times before being caught by prosecutors. Mr. K was granted residency status through his marriage to a South Korean, but had not yet acquired citizenship, prosecutors said. The case, which seemed to be a perpetual cold case, was unraveled when prosecutors conducted a genetic match after K was charged with violating the Sexual Protection of Children and Adolescents Act in 2011. In September last year, prosecutors confirmed that K's DNA matched the semen DNA found in the victim's underwear after DNA checks by the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and the National Institute of Scientific Investigation. However, prosecutors said they were unable to resume the investigation because "traffic accident records were destroyed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations." After the bereaved family filed a complaint with the Daegu District Prosecutor's Office at the end of May, the prosecutor's office began investigating, and in early June, after checking the DNA stored by the National Criminal Investigation Service and reconfirming the match with K's DNA, the prosecutor's office conducted an investigation for more than three months. The statute of limitations for special aggravated rape was 15 years (the statute of limitations expired on October 16, 2013), but with the enactment of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes in 2010, the statute of limitations for sexual crimes for which DNA was obtained was changed to 25 years, an extension of 10 years. Therefore, the statute of limitations in this case is 25 years. In August, Mr. K allegedly lured a woman in her 20s to his store by promising to "give her the store" and then lured her to a motel where he molested her. Prosecutors believe he may be guilty because his cell phone contained hundreds of naked photos of women. If convicted, K is likely to be deported from the country, prosecutors said. Although there is no Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty or extradition treaty between South Korea and Sri Lanka, the prosecutors decided to take judicial cooperation procedures against the accomplices, who are known to be living in Sri Lanka, in consultation with the Ministry of Justice and the chief prosecutor. "The investigation team visited the scene several times and investigated the case for more than three months based on the statements of the people involved, and used scientific investigation techniques through the Digital Forensic Center of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to reveal the truth of the case," said Lee Geum-ro, the first chief prosecutor of the Daegu District Prosecutors' Office. "We will continue to pay attention to the victims' bereaved families so that they can receive psychological treatment, and we will take measures to ensure that their opinions are reflected in the public trial process." leeki [This time] ☞ Galaxy Note3-Galaxy Gear veil is lifted (comprehensive) ☞ <Entertainment performers injured in a series of accidents. . . thesis] ☞ Thesis: Thesis on the future of the world. ▶ NewsY is now available on newsstands! ▶ "Interactive news" in pictures.
