Lecturer Confesses to Part of Killing Chinese International Student in Gyeongsan

A Chinese university lecturer in his 30s, surnamed Jeong, who had an arrest warrant sought against him on murder and other charges for killing a female Chinese international student in Gyeongsan, North Gyeongsang Province, has reportedly confessed to some of the charges during police questioning.

According to the Gyeongsan Police Station in North Gyeongsang Province today (August 27), Jeong stated during police questioning that he killed the victim, 25-year-old A, in the early hours of August 20.

The deceased, victim A, was last captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) outside suspect Jeong's home at around 2:00 a.m. on August 20.

Police investigations also revealed that victim A had her last contact with her family in China around that same time.

Police stated that the exact time of the murder requires further confirmation through an autopsy and other procedures.

Jeong is reportedly being relatively cooperative with the police investigation and is making statements regarding the crime.

Following the search of Jeong's residence and other locations the previous day, police additionally traced his movements related to the crime and the location where the body was abandoned.

Earlier, police requested an arrest warrant for Jeong yesterday afternoon, citing concerns over the destruction of evidence and flight.

The substantive warrant review is expected to take place as early as August 28.

Jeong, who is accused of murdering the 20-something Chinese female international student who entered the country to receive her graduate school completion certificate, was apprehended by police on a street in Hayang-eup, Gyeongsan, at 7:29 p.m. on August 25.

Police are currently coordinating the schedule for an autopsy on the victim's body, expecting that the exact time and cause of death will be revealed through the procedure.
