▲ The murder suspect of Chinese student, disguised in women's clothing
Chilling CCTV footage has emerged showing the actions before and after the crime by a 31-year-old Chinese part-time lecturer, surnamed Jeong, who murdered a 25-year-old Chinese exchange student, surnamed A, in Gyeongsan, North Gyeongsang Province, before dismembering and abandoning her body across various parts of the country.
Despite committing a brutal crime that defies common sense, Jeong acted calmly, disguising himself as the victim to throw off police investigations or casually throwing plastic bags containing suspicious items into a garbage dump near his residence.
According to CCTV footage secured on the 27th with the consent of residents near Jeong's home, Jeong and the victim, A, were first captured on camera around 2 AM on the 20th.
At the time, A was heading toward Jeong's residence pulling a carrier bag.
A then met Jeong and went inside the residence together.
There appeared to be no signs of coercion, as A followed Jeong closely right after Jeong entered the building.
Jeong's movements were captured on CCTV again at around 10:30 PM that same day.
This was 20 hours after the time Jeong confessed to police that he had murdered A.
He was wearing a skirt, hat, and mask to conceal his face in an attempt to make it appear as though he was the victim, A.
After leaving the residence pulling a carrier, he traveled to Dongdaegu Station and turned off the victim's mobile phone to confuse the investigation.
About two hours later, around midnight, Jeong returned to his residence after changing into different clothes, such as a hoodie.
While he was dressed in women's clothing when he left the house, he returned in completely men's attire.
The footage also vividly captured Jeong calmly 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 coincided with a day after the time Jeong stated he murdered A inside his residence, and just hours before he filed a false missing person 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 threw the plastic bag into a garbage dump tens of meters away from his residence and turned back toward his home.
Garbage in that area is collected daily by a cleaning service, excluding Sundays, and processed at a local incineration plant.
Because of this, it is highly likely that the plastic bag thrown away by Jeong was collected by the cleaning service.
Given that Jeong stated he murdered A, dismembered her body, and abandoned the parts in various places, this point raises the possibility that the bag contained murder weapons or evidence.
In fact, the police conducted searches at incineration plants and other locations to check whether Jeong had discarded material evidence related to the crime.
Considering these irrational circumstances that defy common sense, the police are reviewing the possibility of conducting a psychopath checklist assessment on Jeong.
During the investigation, Jeong claimed that a conflict with A, with whom he was in a romantic relationship, was the motive for the crime. However, the police are conducting supplementary investigations, including forensic analysis of mobile phones, considering the possibility that he made statements favorable to himself given that the victim is dead.
