[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] A man in his 20s who killed his girlfriend and then put her body in a burlap sack has been arrested by the police.


On the 25th, the Incheon Western Police Station announced that they have arrested and are investigating A (27) on suspicion of murder.


A is suspected of assaulting his girlfriend B (29) to death at a villa in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, in early last month. It was investigated that he put B's body in a burlap sack and abandoned it in an empty lot near the Gyeongin Ara Waterway in Sicheon-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon.


The police began an investigation after B's body was found at the location around 10 a.m. that day, and arrested A at a villa in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, around 11:50 a.m.


B's body was found inside the burlap sack wearing clothes, and was in a considerably decomposed state.


The police confirmed A's movements and B's identity by checking CCTV footage around the place where the body was found.



A police official said, "The time, method, and motive of the crime have not been investigated yet. We plan to conduct additional investigations to determine whether to apply for A's arrest warrant."
