▲ A suspect suspected of murdering a Chinese student in her 20s is being escorted to the Gyeongsan Police Station in Gyeongbuk Province at around 11:50 p.m. on the 25th.
Police investigating the murder of a Chinese female university student in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk Province, have found circumstances indicating that parts of the victim's body were mutilated and are conducting searches at local incineration plants and other locations.
The Gyeongsan Police Station in Gyeongbuk announced that they have confirmed circumstances where the suspect, Jungmo, mutilated and abandoned parts of the body of the deceased Chinese student, A, aged 25, and are searching for the body parts at suspected dumping sites, including a local garbage incineration plant.
Police used CCTV footage to confirm that Jung entered his residence together with the victim at around 2:00 a.m. on the 20th.
It was reported that no footage showed Jung forcefully dragging victim A into the residence at the time they entered.
It was determined that the victim had her last contact with her family via social media around this time.
At around 10:30 p.m. on the same day, Jung was investigated to have left his residence alone, wearing women's clothing and concealing his face with a hat and other items.
Police stated that the clothes worn by Jung at the time were presumed to be the victim's, but they were not the clothes the victim was wearing when she entered Jung's residence.
Police plan to investigate the origin of the clothes worn by Jung through forensics and other methods.
Afterwards, he traveled to Dongdaegu Station, where he turned off the victim's mobile phone near the station.
Police also confirmed that Jung, after moving to Dongdaegu Station, changed into men's clothing in a nearby restroom and returned to his residence.
Subsequently, Jung filed a missing person report regarding the victim to the police at around 7:05 p.m. on the 21st.
Police believe that Jung acted in this manner to create confusion in the investigation.
A police official stated, "Considering that he deceived the police in the early stages of the case, we plan to apply charges of obstruction of official duties."
Police commenced face-to-face questioning of Jung starting at 9:00 a.m. today, and plan to apply for an arrest warrant for Jung by tomorrow morning at the latest.
