South Korean citizen Inyoung You, 21, was charged with manslaughter after sending thousands of messages urging her boyfriend to commit suicide.

"Suspect You physically, verbally and mentally mistreated 22-year-old American boyfriend Alexander Urtula in February 18 in love," Rachelael Rollins, Suffolk County prosecutor, Massachusetts, USA, said. know in the press conference on October 28.

You, then a Boston University student, sent Urtula a total of 47,000 messages in the last two months of love, including many sentences with content such as "Kill yourself" or "Go die".

The prosecutor said You had "completely controlled" her boyfriend, isolated him from family and friends, and forced him to commit suicide.

You even tracked Urtula and was near the place where he jumped to commit suicide in Boston on May 20, the day he graduated from Boston University. This behavior led You to be prosecuted for manslaughter.

You are in South Korea and prosecutors are negotiating with her lawyer for her to return to the United States to surrender, otherwise they will start the extradition process.

Urtula is a graduate student who completed the course at Boston University and was working at a New York hospital at the time of suicide, according to a Boston University spokesman.
