[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] On the 12th, an unidentified female body was found in Wanju, Jeonbuk, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

The Jeonbuk Police Agency stated that a farm worker at a farm in Sang-gwan-myeon, Wanju-gun, discovered the female body and reported it to the police in the afternoon.

The police are conducting identification procedures, considering the possibility that the body might be that of Ms. A, a woman in her 20s who went missing in Busan.

The police believe that suspect B (31), who was arrested for a female robbery-murder case in Jeonju, is highly likely to have committed the crime against Ms. A.

Ms. A's father filed a missing person report with the police on the 29th of last month, stating, "I have not been able to contact my daughter."

The police are controlling the area and have dispatched the forensic investigation team and violent crime detectives to the scene to confirm the identity of the body.
