20s Man Arrested for Killing Ex-Girlfriend and Abandoning the Body

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] A man in his 20s who murdered his ex-girlfriend and the current girlfriend of this man who participated in the crime have been arrested.

On the 27th, the Incheon Western Police Station arrested A (27) on charges of murder and corpse abandonment, and B, A's girlfriend in her 20s, on charges of corpse abandonment.

On the same day afternoon, Judge Kim Byung-guk of the Incheon District Court, in charge of warrants, issued arrest warrants for A and B due to concerns of flight risk and evidence tampering.

According to the police, A is suspected of assaulting and strangling his ex-girlfriend C (29, female) to death around 10 a.m. on the 12th of last month at a villa in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. The villa where the incident occurred was where C lived.

After the crime, he left C's body in the villa for five days, then on the 16th of last month, loaded it into a vehicle and moved it to Incheon, where he abandoned it near the road by Moksanggyo Bridge along the Gyeongin Ara Waterway.

B is suspected of assisting in the disposal of the body by riding in A's vehicle.

A reportedly told the police, "I got into an argument with my ex-girlfriend over breaking up, got angry, and strangled her," and "I didn't know what to do after killing her, so I left the body inside the house."

B stated to the police that she helped with the crime because she liked A. The police believe that A alone killed C, and B only helped with disposing of the body.

When C's body was found near the Gyeongin Ara Waterway, it was inside a burlap sack. Although decomposition had somewhat progressed, there were no signs of mutilation.

C did not frequently contact her parents, so no missing person report was filed with the police.
