suspect charged in 2003 triple murder

Last week in Los Angeles, authorities arrested and charged 50-year-old Robin Kyu Cho with the 2003 triple murder of a woman, her 2-year-old son and his babysitter, capping a six-year investigation: Neighbor charged in 2003 Park La Brea triple murder.

Authorities haven't said what Cho's motives were for the killing, but according to prosecutors, a combination of physical and circumstantial evidence connects him to the murders of Chi Hyon Song, 30; her 2-year-old son, Hyun Woo Song; and the 56-year-old nanny, Eun Sik Min.

Prosecutors said they have filed a special circumstance of multiple murders, making Cho eligible for the death penalty. The district attorney's office will not decide whether to seek the death penalty or life without parole for Cho until his case moves closer to trial.
