Dongwook “Mikey” Ko, the 17-year-old accused of stabbing a 13-year-old girl attending a Jacobs School of Music summer camp, has been released on bail and placed under GPS monitoring at his home, according to court filings.
Ko reportedly lured the victim to the fourth floor of Merrill Hall on July 12, where he slashed, strangled and stabbed her before she got away. He was charged as an adult with attempted murder, aggravated battery, kidnapping, confinement, battery and strangulation.
Ko posted 10% of his $150,000 bond and his $500 cash bond Wednesday, according to WTIU. Judge Darcie Fawcett issued an order for home detention Thursday. Ko must give up his passport, submit to GPS monitoring and obey a no-contact order between him and the victim.
While Ko’s pretrial conference is not scheduled until Sept. 4, his lawyer Carl Salzmann is requesting a psychiatric evaluation to see if he is fit to stand trial.
