A man holding a black plastic bag walks casually somewhere while looking at his smartphone.
This is Jeong, a Chinese university lecturer who is suspected of murdering a female Chinese international student.
Shortly after, the place Jeong arrives at is a garbage collection site.
Police believe that this plastic bag contained a part of the victim's body.
This is the road in front of Jeong's home.
Having disposed of part of the body at this garbage collection site just 100 meters away from his home, Jeong is suspected of abandoning body parts not only here but also nationwide, including the Gyeongju Bomun Complex and Gyeonggi Province.

Jeong is reportedly claiming that he was in a romantic relationship with the deceased woman.
However, the victim's family members are pushing back, stating that she had a boyfriend in China.
The possibility of stalking-related crimes also cannot be ruled out.
During the pre-trial detention hearing, the court issued an arrest warrant for Jeong, citing concerns that he might flee.

Finding it suspicious that only parts of the victim's body remained inside the house and that he immediately filed a missing person report after disposing of the body, the police are considering conducting a psychopath test on Jeong.
