We previously reported that a missing Chinese international student was found dead five days after her disappearance at the home of a Chinese man in his 30s. It has now been revealed that the suspect was a part-time lecturer at the university the victim attended, and that he even disguised himself as the deceased woman.

Park Dong-joo from TBC has the report.

This is a studio apartment complex in Hayang-eup, Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do, on the night of August 20.

A person wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long one-piece dress, pulling a white carrier in one hand.

This person, whose appearance looks awkward at a glance, is the Chinese suspect surnamed Zheng, who was arrested for murdering a Chinese female international student in her 20s.

Zheng, dressed in women's clothing, headed toward Dongdaegu Station carrying the victim's mobile phone.

After changing back into his own clothes in a restroom, he immediately turned off the mobile phone.

Police believe Zheng acted this way in an attempt to commit a perfect crime.

[Police Official: Wearing women's clothes like the victim, carrying the victim's carrier, and holding the victim's cell phone—when we asked the taxi driver, they said it was a woman, so we thought that person was the victim.]

It has also newly been revealed that Zheng was a part-time lecturer at the university where the victim was enrolled.

This is the classroom where the suspect taught classes as a part-time lecturer during the last spring semester.

It has been confirmed that the deceased graduate student also took the suspect's class here.

[University Official: (Since there are many Chinese students), I understand he was hired as someone with a relevant major because of language issues, and he had another main job.]

A specific motive for the crime has not yet been revealed.

Police have confirmed circumstances indicating that Zheng mutilated and abandoned part of the victim's body, and are conducting search operations centered around nearby garbage incinerators.
