Chilling CCTV Footage Reveals Actions of Suspect Who Dismembered and Scattered Victim's Body Across Country

The movements of a 31-year-old Chinese part-time lecturer, surnamed Jeong, before and after murdering a 25-year-old Chinese exchange student, surnamed A, in Gyeongsan, North Gyeongsang Province, dismembering the body, and abandoning the remains across the country, were fully captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras near his residence.

Despite committing a brutal crime that defies common sense, Jeong appeared calm, disguising himself as the victim to throw off police investigations or discarding plastic bags containing suspicious items in a garbage bin near his home.

According to CCTV footage secured with the consent of residents near Jeong's residence on the 27th, Jeong and victim A were first captured at around 2:00 AM on the 20th.

At the time, victim A was heading toward Jeong's residence while pulling a carrier bag.

A subsequently met with Jeong and entered the residence together.

There appeared to be no sign of coercion, as A followed Jeong directly into the building.

Jeong's movements were captured again on CCTV at around 10:30 PM that day.

This was 20 hours after the time Jeong confessed to police that he had murdered A.

He was wearing a skirt, a hat, and a mask to conceal his face, attempting to impersonate victim A.

After leaving the residence pulling the carrier, he headed to Dongdaegu Station and turned off the victim's mobile phone to create confusion in the investigation.

About two hours later, around midnight, Jeong returned to his residence after changing into different clothes, such as a hoodie.

When he left the house, he was dressed in women's clothing, but upon his return, he was dressed entirely in men's clothing.

The footage also vividly captured Jeong casually continuing his daily life after returning home, despite having committed a brutal crime.

Jeong left his residence once again at 2:20 PM on the 21st.

This time corresponded to a day after Jeong stated he murdered A inside his residence, and several hours before he filed a false missing persons report with the police.

Captured on CCTV, Jeong was seen leaving his residence wearing a black top and bottom with white sneakers.

In one hand, he carried a black plastic bag containing an object about the size of two soccer balls, while operating his mobile phone with the other hand.

He then discarded the plastic bag at a garbage dump tens of meters away from his residence before turning back toward his home.

Garbage in the area is collected daily by a cleaning company, excluding Sundays, and processed at a local incineration plant.

Because of this, it is highly likely that the plastic bag discarded by Jeong was collected by the cleaning company.

Given that Jeong revealed he murdered A, dismembered the body, and abandoned the remains in various places, this raises the possibility that the bag contained murder weapons.

In fact, the police conducted searches at incineration facilities and other locations to check whether Jeong had disposed of physical evidence related to the crime.

Considering Jeong's various behaviors that defy common sense, the police are considering a psychopathy checklist assessment.

During the investigation, Jeong claimed that the motive for the crime was a conflict with A, with whom he was in a romantic relationship. However, the police are conducting supplementary investigations, such as forensic analysis of mobile phones, considering the possibility that he made statements favorable to himself given that the victim is dead.
