▲ A suspect in his 30s in the murder of a Chinese student in her 20s is escorted to the Gyeongsan Police Station in Gyeongsangbuk-do around 11:50 p.m. on the 25th.
Police are launching a full-scale investigation today (the 26th) into a Chinese man in his 30s, surnamed Jeong, who was arrested on charges of murdering a 20-something Chinese female student who had gone missing in Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
The Gyeongsan Police Station in Gyeongsangbuk-do announced that it plans to question Jeong today regarding his motive and the specific details of the crime.
Jeong was arrested at 7:29 p.m. the previous day on a street in Hayang-eup, Gyeongsan, and after undergoing procedures such as a site verification, was escorted to the Gyeongsan Police Station at 11:50 p.m. the same day.
As he was being escorted into the police station, when reporters asked about his motive, Jeong did not provide any answers and walked inside with his head bowed.
It was reported that because Jeong arrived at the police station late at night, police did not conduct suspect interrogation overnight.
Accordingly, an arrest warrant for Jeong has not yet been requested.
Police plan to apply for an arrest warrant based on the results of the investigation.
It was also confirmed that the autopsy schedule for the victim, Ms. A, has not yet been finalized.
Police plan to conduct an autopsy to verify the exact cause and time of Ms. A's death.
The suspect Jeong is known to be an office worker of Chinese nationality.
Previously, Ms. A, a Chinese student attending a graduate school in the Gyeongsan area, was found dead inside Jeong's home on the 25th, five days after she was reported missing.
