SEOUL, May 26 (Korea Bizwire) – A South Korean female naval officer died in an apparent suicide earlier this week after being allegedly raped by a senior colleague, the Navy said Thursday.
Military police arrested the Navy captain who admitted to having sex with her. But he has denied the allegation of sexual assault, according to the Navy.
The lieutenant of the Navy’s headquarters at the Gyeryongdae compound, some 160 kilometers south of Seoul, was found dead at her single-room home at around 5:40 p.m. Wednesday. She apparently hung herself, said the Navy.
A note was discovered, reading, “I won’t be in this world probably tomorrow.” She did not return to work after a leave, with no contact available.
She reportedly told a civilian friend earlier that she had been raped.
The Navy withheld personal information on the suspect and the victim including their names and ages.
