The suspect in the rape and murder of a teenage girl, who was arrested in Busan on Wednesday, is denying all charges against him, police said yesterday.

murder : 살인
arrest : 체포하다
against : ~에게 불리한

Kim Gil-tae, 33, repeated denials of his charges though his DNA was found in the victim's body, said Kim Young-sik, deputy head of the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency.

victim : 피해자
deputy : 대리인
Metropolitan : 대도시의

He was suspected of kidnapping, raping and murdering 13-year-old Lee Yu-ri, who was found dead on Saturday inside a rooftop water tank just 100 meters away from her house after disappearing on Feb. 24.

kidnap : 납치하다, 유괴하다
rooftop : 옥상

She had been suffocated to death after being raped, said police officials.

Kim, however, claimed that he had never seen Lee and that he only ran in fear of being caught for his past offenses, according to officials.

claim : 주장하다, 요청하다
caught : catch의 과거, 과거 분사
offense : 죄, 범햄 / 죄를 짓다, 범행을 저지르다

Kim was released last June after having served time in jail for both rape and attempted rape. He was also wanted for a suspected case of rape which occurred last January.

"I found out through police leaflets that I was the suspect in the case and feared that I may be falsely charged because of my past offenses," officials quoted Kim as saying during questioning.

falsely : 거짓으로
