Former Schuylkill Haven man charged with abuse of mom's corpse

A former Schuylkill Haven man has been charged with misdemeanor abuse of his mother's corpse after being arrested in Lancaster County, police reported Wednesday. Authorities found the body of Hyun Ahn, 61, of Owings Mills, Maryland, in her Toyota RAV4. Northern Lancaster County Regional Police arrested Kevin Hyun Ahn, 31, after being dispatched Monday to 110 Fruitville Pike in Penn Twp. for a report of a man acting weird. The woman's death was ruled a homicide, according to the Lancaster County Coroner's Office, which said the primary cause of death was strangulation. The victim is the suspect's mother and died on Monday, March 24, the coroner said. 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. 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.' The suspect fled the area in the SUV after being asked about the note. He returned about 30 minutes later. HIs sister then noticed what appeared to be a human leg under clothing and items in the backseat. Police from Manheim and the NLCRPD department found Kevin Ahn in Manheim Borough after he ran away from the scene. Police could see the victim inside the SUV, and a magisterial district judge approved a search warrant for the RAV4, where the body of Hyun Ahn was found in the rear passenger side, with items piled on top of her. Police observed hemorrhaging in her eyes and what appeared to be ligature marks on her neck, documents state. Additional charges may be filed against Kevin Ahn, the Lancaster County District Attorney's office said. Kevin Ahn is in Lancaster County Prison after being denied bail because of the possibility he might not appear for a court hearing and in the interest of public safety, online court records show. A preliminary hearing is set for April 1 at 1:30 p.m. in Magisterial District Judge Torrey Landis' courtroom, Ephrata.
