The boy who jumped off the building was named Alexander Utula, 22 years old. Utula's girlfriend, Yoo In-young, is 21 years old and a Korean.
Both Utula and Renying Liu are students at Boston University, who was due to graduate in May 2020 but dropped out in August. Uturah studied biology, while Liu Renying studied economics. Uturah completed all courses as early as December 2018 and works as a researcher at a new York hospital.
During their 18-month relationship, Yoo performed "physical, verbal and psychological abuse" on her boyfriend.
In addition, she often uses her mobile phone to locate and track the location of Utula, on the day of the incident, she also tracked the location of Utula, and she was at the scene when her boyfriend jumped off a building and committed suicide.
According to the prosecution --
A pattern of abuse and manipulation runs through the relationship between the two, with Yoo "making demands and threats" and exercising "complete control" over Utula, both psychologically and emotionally.
Liu Renying is fully aware that her boyfriend's depression is getting worse, but she continues to "encourage him to end his life."
In the two months before Urtura's suicide, the couple sent more than 75,000 messages, about 47,000 of them by Liu Renying, who had said "hundreds" of times to let him commit suicide.

"In this case, 47,000 text messages in a two-month period completely crushed the boy's will, conscience and spirit."
A school spokesman said Utula was a gifted student at the school and had participated in many activities, including joining the Boston College Philippine Society. According to the Boston Globe, in April 2017, the social media page of the School's Boston College Philippine Club listed Yoo As the financial leader of the club. In response, the society did not respond.
Suffolk County Prosecutor Rachel M. Rawlings said a bill currently in the Legislative Council could make it an offence to encourage or assist suicide and could face up to 5 years in prison.
Rawlings said that Liu Renying is currently staying in South Korea, and prosecutors are "cautiously optimistic" about whether Yoo Will voluntarily return to the United States for trial. "If she doesn't come back, we're going to use our power to get her back to the United States."
The case is related to Massachusetts woman Michelle The case is similar to that of Michelle Carter, who was convicted of involuntary homicide for sending a text message to her boyfriend in 2014 to encourage him to commit suicide. Carter, 22, is serving a 15-month sentence. Rawlings compared the two cases and said the two situations were similar in some ways.
