A middle school student in Incheon was apprehended Thursday for allegedly killing a mentally disabled girl after a failed rape attempt.
Police said the 16-year-old suspect tried to rape the 12-year-old victim at a building after kidnapping her on her way home from school Wednesday.
After failing to rape her, he lured her to a nearby field by asking her to play.
He reportedly made a hole in the field with a small shovel he had brought with him, made her lie in the pit, and suffocated her to death by covering her face with a bag.
He told police that he killed her “because she spoke impolitely while playing.”
“The suspect suffered from manic disorder and emotional disturbance which often lead to aggressive behavior,” a detective chief in charge of the case said.
They were in the same class for mentally and physically disabled students in elementary school years before.
The police received a report from the victim’s parents on Wednesday night and proceeded with the investigation by analyzing closed-circuit television footage near her school.
