Police seek help in searchBy Laura Pelner Purdue Police think someone may have picked up the hammer reportedly used to beat two South Korean sisters killed on campus earlier this month and are asking for help in locating the weapon. Zhan Yin, 27, a Chinese graduate student in biology and suspected killer, told police the weapon he reportedly used to beat Yeunkyung Woo, 31, a fellow graduate student in biology, and her sister, Hyo Kyung Woo, 29, of Chicago, on Aug. 2 was in the Wabash River. According to the affidavit filed in the Tippecanoe County Superior Court, Yin beat the Woo sisters with a hammer and stabbed each in the throat with a kitchen knife. He later reportedly threw his clothes and hammer into the Wabash River.
DUI enforcement to increase
Local law enforcement will be increased until Friday as police work a DUI taskforce in an effort to decrease the amount of intoxicated drivers on the streets. Beginning Aug. 16, officers from the Lafayette police, West Lafayette police, the Tippecanoe Sheriff's department and the Purdue police department will increase manpower on the streets in order to enforce a new law put into effect July 1. The law lowers the legal blood alcohol level to .08 percent, from the former legal limit of .10 percent. The taskforce, begun in July, is now taking place and will also be enforced for a period of time in Sept.
