Female college student killed in random murder
A female college student was stabbed to death in this southern city of Ulsan on Sunday after a drunken man randomly attacked her in the street, police said, Yonhap News reported.
The 23-year-old man, surnamed Jang, is being interrogated after attacking the 18-year-old student at a bus stop near a shopping mall in Ulsan, 414 kilometers south of Seoul, on Sunday evening, the Ulsan Nambu Police Station said.
Police said Jang ran away after stabbing the woman several times, but was caught by a passerby, who held him until officers arrived, the report said.
The victim was rushed to a hospital but was soon pronounced dead, according to the report.
Police said the victim did not know Jang and was returning home when she was attacked.
"Jang is currently jobless and seemed to be under mental stress due to his parents' separation," Yonhap quoted a police officer as saying. "He appears to have killed the random victim impulsively." (From news report)
