Any reason as to why he did it (assuming it's true)? |

Well, rolling eyes aside, that WAS the first thing I considered. |

Can you guys describe her? I don't know them personally, but I've been there enough to recognize them from description. |

Agree with Straphanger, please show a bit of decorum. The OP has asked a question, but even the sensationalism of the title thread strikes me as being a bit over the top and inappropriate.
IF a bartender has been murdered then that is tragic and a public forum of a bunch of people who most likely don't know her speculating on the motives of the murderer is unnecessary and disrespectful.
I really hope that this is simply a rumour. |

The OP *was* the person who speculated on the motive. |

Yeah, should have made that clearer. I meant that his title stated strongly that a murder had occured, but then the actual post was asking if a murder had occured. The title should have posed that question.

There was another thread on this subject already. The opinion there was that she was strangled by her brother when she refused to pay of his credit card debts.
No idea if it's true or not. As always a sad situation. I'm sure if there were more sordid details that it would have been covered more in the news. |

Not an unreasonable speculation. |

Unfortunately that, or just hanging around foreigners, was something that crossed my mind, too. I wish I could be less cynical but as someone who's watched an asshole on a bus berate a Korean woman merely for being with me it's the kind of thought that happens. |

Please post link to other thread.
I contacted several newspapers requesting that the story be run, but was never given any reply.
I find it rather irritating that the news agencies quickly report foreign violence, but often hide the Korean/Korean crime.
I am quite sad by this news and hope that everyone can treat the subject respectfully. |

While I'm guilty of it myself sometimes, on this one the fact that anyone here is trying to put a foreigner "spin" on the story is kinda sickening.
Seriously...you think it was some kind of honor killing?? |
