Police are questioning a 32-year-old man identified as Jeong for running an online suicide blog and having allegedly raped a teenager who ``hoped to commit suicide with him,'' according to the Seocho Police Station.
Jeong met an unidentified 17-year-old girl through his blog, which supports suicide. He asked her to commit suicide with him and met her last Friday.
However, he took her to a motel in Seoul and raped her instead. He later tried to kill her, but did not attempt suicide, the police said.
It was revealed later that Jeong had allegedly raped another teenager a day before in the same manner.
``It seems that Jeong was inspired by recent news reports that some people are flocking to Web sites about suicide and tried to take advantage of vulnerable people,'' a police officer said.
