Bail for man accused in mom's death set at $350,000
Bail was set Friday for the former Schuylkill Haven man charged in Lancaster County with abuse of his mother's corpse and charged with murder and assault in Maryland. Bail for Kevin Ahn, 31, was set at $350,000 straight cash, according to online court records. He was set to have a 1:30 p.m. hearing in front of Lancaster County Common Pleas Judge Merrill M. Spahn. Ahn is charged with two counts of murder and two counts of assault in connection with the death of his mother, Hyun Ahn, 61, of Owings Mills, Maryland. The charges, both in the first degree, were filed in Baltimore County, Maryland. Additional charges are possible, authorities said. He remains in Lancaster County Prison, according to online court records. On March 24, authorities found the body of the defendant's mother in her Toyota RAV4. Her death was ruled a homicide, according to the Lancaster County Coroner's Office, which said the primary cause of death was strangulation. Kevin Ahn's next Lancaster County Court appearance is set for 10:30 a.m. June 18, 2025 for a status conference. A police sergeant from the NLCRP and a detective both testified at Ahn's hearing, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney's Facebook page. The detective said surveillance video showed both the defendant and his mother in the vehicle about two days before she was found dead, according to the post, adding that she went inside a Lancaster County business at some point. Prior to his arrest, Kevin Ahn's sister told police her estranged brother was 'talking in numbers ' and speaking gibberish. She said her brother wrote a note while sitting in their mother's Toyota RAV4, according to police. The suspect fled the area in the RAV4 after being asked about the note. When he returned about 30 minutes later, his sister noticed what appeared to be a human leg under clothing and other items in the back seat. According to charging documents, the note left in the victim's SUV read: 'Mom is in the car. I'm sorry Please give her a funeral. My brain is fried. My mom lied, she gave me fake money from the N.A. so did my employees I lost my mind, Foregive me. Please call my sister.' Police from Manheim and the NLCRPD found Kevin Ahn in Manheim Borough after he ran from the scene. Police could see the victim inside the SUV, and a magisterial district judge approved a search warrant for the RAV4. The body of Hyun Ahn was found in the rear passenger side, with items piled on top of her.
