A petition was filed yesterday in Superior Court to preserve and distribute the assets of a Korean store manager who was among the victims of the triple homicide in San Antonio.<\/p>\n
According to court papers, Yeon Young Mi, who was the manager of Memo Fashion, had left on Saipan bank accounts at the First Hawaiian Bank and Bank of Hawaii.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old Mi also owned a Hyundai car, a Ford van, and a Ford Explorer, the court petition indicated.<\/p>\n
Jong Bong Won, through attorney Reynaldo O. Yana, filed the petition requesting the Superior Court to appoint him as the administrator of Mi\u2019s estate.<\/p>\n
Yana asserted that the estate should be immediately administered in order to collect and preserve the assets for those who shall appeal to have a legal right or interest.<\/p>\n
Yana said Mi left a will.<\/p>\n
The lawyer said that Mi\u2019s husband, Yongki Kim, who is staying in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, has agreed to the appointment of Won as the estate\u2019s administrator.<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s two minor children are also in Malaysia, Yana said.<\/p>\n
Investigators believe that robbery was the motive behind the triple homicide that happened on Feb. 15, 2006, at a residence located behind the Seventh-Day Adventist School.<\/p>\n
Also killed were Hee Soo Kim, 63, and Lee Eun Jeong, 32. The three were Koreans.<\/p>\n
Kim owned a bookstore and was the father-in-law of Mi.<\/p>\n
Jeong was a tourist and a visitor of Mi. She arrived on Saipan on Feb. 10, 2006 and was scheduled to leave on Feb. 17, 2006, police said.<\/p>\n
Police identified the suspect as Nan Guang Xi, 32, a Chinese, who was shot dead by a responding police officer.<\/p>\n
Investigation revealed that victim Mi had collected money from the establishments that she managed the night prior to the killing.<\/p>\n
Investigators recovered the empty money bag at the crime scene next to Mi.<\/p>\n
Police said suspect Xi had a large amount of cash on his body. There were indications that the money had come from Mi, police said.<\/p>\n
Xi had been on Saipan since 1996 and was employed at the Neo Fashion Garment Factory until it shut down operations in 2005.<\/p>\n
Police said investigators believe the suspect was having financial difficulty and was seeking assistance to return back to China.<\/p>\n
The autopsy indicated that all three victims sustained multiple stab wounds. <\/p>\n
In addition, he said, Kim also suffered multiple trauma to the head.<\/p>\n
The suspect sustained a single gunshot wound in the abdomen.<\/p>\n
Traffic officer Hocog, who was in the vicinity conducting public education training for the students, heard the commotion and responded to the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
