Summary:
Kevin Ahn, 31, is facing extradition to Maryland after allegedly committing a series of gruesome killings, including the murder of his 61-year-old mother, Hyun Ahn. Authorities say he drove her body to his sister’s home in Pennsylvania, disguising it under McDonald’s wrappers and assorted garbage. In a disturbing twist, Ahn is also accused of murdering two others — Sun Tok Lim, 83, and In Yong Kim, 70 — in Owings Mills, Maryland, the same day, allegedly staging their deaths to resemble suicides. The charges include multiple counts of first-degree murder and assault, and Ahn is being held as a fugitive from justice.
According to court documents, Lim and Kim were found on their kitchen floor with belts around their necks — a method matching that used in Hyun Ahn’s death. Initially, Ahn faced an abuse of corpse charge for transporting his mother’s body, but that charge has been dropped to prioritize his transfer to Maryland, where the most serious allegations await. Officials noted that the investigation is ongoing and more charges may be forthcoming as they continue to examine the disturbing case.
Key Points:
- Kevin Ahn is accused of murdering three people in one day, including his mother.
- He allegedly tried to disguise his mother’s body under trash in his car during transport.
- Maryland authorities dropped lesser charges to focus on prosecuting Ahn for triple homicide.
