MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Police say a taekwondo instructor killed a 7-year-old student at his academy and the boy’s parents before going to a Sydney hospital with stab and slash wounds on his body. A police official said Wednesday that Kwang Kyung Yoo will eventually be charged with three counts of murder. The crimes were discovered after the instructor admitted himself to a hospital on Monday night. Police discovered the bodies Tuesday and arrested Yoo at the hospital. Police haven’t determined how Yoo’s injuries were inflicted and have yet to reveal a motive. All four were born in South Korea and the slain boy had been a regular taekwondo student.
