Two Men Arrested for Abandoning Body in Guro-gu Residential Area, Including Villa Owner

Two men suspected of abandoning a body in a residential area in Guro-gu, Seoul, have been arrested by the police.

The Seoul Guro Police Station announced that it has urgently arrested and is currently investigating a man in his 60s, A, and a man in his 80s, B, on charges of abandoning a body and abetting the abandonment of a body, respectively.

A is accused of abandoning the body near a garbage disposal site in a residential area in Guro-dong, Guro-gu, on October 22, while B is accused of abetting the act.

The two men were known to each other, and it was found that B is the owner of a multi-household villa located in Guro-gu.

The police stated that further investigation is required regarding the relationship between the deceased victim and the suspects, as well as the circumstances under which the body was abandoned.

The body was found in a mummified state, and it is expected to take time to determine the exact cause of death.

The body was discovered around 11:00 AM today by a sanitation worker affiliated with the Guro-gu Office, who then reported it to the police.

Based on closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and other evidence, the police tracked down the suspects and urgently arrested both men one after another around 4:00 PM today.

The body was reportedly left unattended for five days wrapped in plastic and newspapers, leading to some decomposition and desiccation.

The police added that the body is presumed to be that of an elderly person, but the exact gender and age group must be verified through an autopsy and other procedures.

The police have sent the body to the National Forensic Service to confirm the exact identity of the deceased and the cause of death.
