A man holding a black plastic bag walks casually somewhere while looking at his smartphone.

This is Jeong, a Chinese university instructor suspected of murdering a female Chinese international student.

A short time later, Jeong arrives at a garbage collection site.

Police believe that this plastic bag contained parts of the victim's body.

This is the road in front of Jeong's home.

Having discarded some of the remains at this garbage collection area just 100 meters away from his house, Jeong is suspected of dumping body parts not only there, but also across various locations nationwide, including the Bomun Complex in Gyeongju and Gyeonggi Province.

Jeong is reportedly claiming that he and the deceased woman were in a romantic relationship.

However, the victim's family members have pushed back, stating that she had a boyfriend back in China.

The possibility of a stalking-related crime cannot be ruled out.

The court issued an arrest warrant for Jeong during the pre-trial detention hearing, citing concerns that he might flee.

Given suspicious circumstances—such as only parts of the victim's body remaining inside the home and Jeong filing a missing person report immediately after abandoning the body—police are considering conducting a psychopath test on him.
