A Pennsylvania man is facing extradition to Maryland after allegedly strangling his mother, then driving her body—covered in McDonald’s wrappers and household trash—to his sister’s home, where the gruesome discovery blew open a shocking triple homicide case.
Kevin Ahn, 31, is accused of murdering his 61-year-old mother, Hyun Ahn, in Maryland on March 24, before allegedly transporting her body over state lines in her 2022 Toyota Rav4. But that’s just the beginning. Authorities now say Ahn also killed two other people, Sun Tok Lim, 83, and In Yong Kim, 70, on the same day in Owings Mills, Baltimore County. All three were strangled and found with eerily similar injuries, prosecutors said.
When Ahn showed up at his estranged sister’s home in Penn Township, Pennsylvania, she and her husband were alarmed. He was reportedly “acting weird” and driving their mother’s car—someone they hadn’t heard from in days. When they looked inside the vehicle, they allegedly saw a lifeless body across the backseat, partially concealed with trash, household goods, and fast-food packaging.
A chilling note was found in the car window that 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 employers. I lost my mind, please forgive me.”
Authorities say Ahn staged the murders of Lim and Kim to look like suicides. Both victims were found on the kitchen floor of their home with belts around their necks—matching the cause of death in Hyun Ahn’s case. He is now charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and assault.
The abuse of corpse charge originally filed in Pennsylvania was dropped to expedite his extradition to Maryland, where further charges are expected, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office.
At Ahn’s preliminary hearing, his attorney argued that he was grieving and didn’t intend to disrespect his mother’s body, telling the court Ahn was “dressing up a skeleton” out of mourning, not malice. “He covered the body out of respect,” the lawyer claimed.
Police say the investigation is ongoing, and more charges may be coming as authorities piece together the chilling events of March 24—a day that left three people dead, a family shattered, and two states reeling.
