A man who allegedly murdered his mother and then drove to his sister’s house in Pennsylvania with the body — covering it with McDonald’s wrappers and other random trash inside his car, with his lawyer likening it to “dressing up a skeleton” — is facing extradition to Maryland for strangling two people and then staging their deaths to look like suicides, cops say.

Kevin Ahn, 31, is accused of murdering Sun Tok Lim, 83, and In Yong Kim, 70, at their home in Owings Mills, Baltimore County, on March 24. It was the same day he allegedly strangled his mom Hyun Ahn, 61, leading to first-degree murder and assault charges after he drove to his sister’s home in Penn Township, Pennsylvania, with her body.

Ahn, who is awaiting extradition to Maryland, is also charged as a fugitive from justice.

Court documents obtained by local NBC affiliate WBAL say Lim and Kim were both found in the kitchen of their home on the floor, with belts around each of their necks. Their causes of death were the exact same as Hyun Ahn’s, according to prosecutors. Kevin Ahn was originally facing an abuse of a corpse charge in connection to transportation of her body.

“The abuse of corpse charge was dropped in order to facilitate the defendant’s transfer to Maryland to face his criminal charges there,” the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement to WBAL. “Our investigation into this incident continues and further charges are pending.”

Lancaster County officials say it was Kevin Ahn’s estranged sister in Penn Township who reported him to police after a “suspicious incident” at her residence , according to a police press release.

The woman allegedly told investigators that Kevin Ahn, who is “transient and not generally welcome at the home,” per cops, showed up at her house driving their mother’s 2022 Toyota Rav4 and was “acting weird.” The sister and her husband, who came outside to confront Kevin Ahn, both allegedly saw “an unresponsive person positioned across the rear seat and floor” of his vehicle, “partially covered in household goods” and trash, according to police.

A note was allegedly found in a window saying, “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.”

At Kevin Ahn’s preliminary hearing in April, officers testified that his mom had been dead for at least 30 to 40 hours inside of her vehicle before she was discovered by Kevin Ahn’s sister and husband, according to the Daily Voice. Kevin Ahn’s attorney argued that he was allegedly mourning his mother in his own way — as if he was “dressing up a skeleton” — not abusing her corpse, the Voice reported.

“Covered the body out of respect,” the lawyer reportedly said.
