Lecturer Confesses Partially to Murder of Chinese Student in Gyeongsan

It has been confirmed that a Chinese university lecturer in his 30s, surnamed Jeong, who faces an arrest warrant application on murder and other charges for killing a female Chinese exchange student in Gyeongsan, North Gyeongsang Province, has partially confessed to the charges during police questioning.

According to the Gyeongsan Police Station in North Gyeongsang Province, Jeong stated during police interrogation that he killed the victim, a 25-year-old surnamed A, in the early hours of August 20.

The victim, A, was last captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) outside Jeong's residence at around 2:00 AM on August 20.

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

The police maintain that the exact time of the murder requires further confirmation through methods such as an autopsy.

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, the police additionally traced his movements related to the crime and the location where the body was abandoned.

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

The warrant substantive review is expected to take place as early as tomorrow, the 28th.

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

The police are currently coordinating the schedule for an autopsy on the victim's body and expect that the exact time and cause of death will be determined through the autopsy.
