[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] It has been revealed that Lee Chun-jae (57), the suspect in the Lee Chun-jae serial murder case?one of the worst long-unsolved cases in the history of violent crime?committed brutal crimes due to frustration caused by stress.

The Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency's Lee Chun-jae Serial Murder Case Investigation Headquarters announced the results of a year-long investigation on the 2nd, concluding that Lee Chun-jae committed sadistic crimes to relieve sexual desire and express his internal frustrations.

The police deployed nine profilers nationwide to conduct interviews, psychological tests, analysis of statements and behavioral characteristics, and psychopathy assessments, comprehensively reviewing the data to reveal Lee Chun-jae's psychological traits and motives for the crimes.

On the day of the announcement, Bae Yong-joo, chief of the Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency, stated, "Lee Chun-jae has an introverted personality and was unable to play a leading role in his life. However, he first experienced a sense of achievement and a proactive role during his military service. After discharge, he began committing sex crimes to assert control amid a state of frustration caused by a monotonous and stressful life."

According to the police, Lee Chun-jae did not feel guilt even after committing sex crimes and murder, and as he continued killing, it escalated into serial murder. The methods of the crimes also became more brutal and evolved into sadistic forms.

He continued killing without feeling changes in emotions such as guilt, leading to serial murder," the chief explained. "The methods of the crimes became more brutal and evolved into sadistic forms." Chief Bae added, "He showed a clear psychopathic tendency, completely lacking empathy for the victims' pain and suffering, while continuously flaunting his crimes and existence, seeking attention from the media and others."
