[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] A man in his 50s who killed his ex-girlfriend, mutilated her body, and abandoned it was arrested by the police.

The Suwon District Court (Judge Jeong Yoon-seop, in charge of warrants) announced on the 30th that it had issued an arrest warrant for A (50), a Chinese-Korean suspect facing charges of murder, corpse mutilation, and abandonment.

Judge Jeong stated the reason for issuing the warrant, saying, "There is a risk of flight and evidence destruction."

A is suspected of killing B (42, female), with whom he had an extramarital relationship, between the 25th and 27th at a one-room apartment in Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, where he resides, mutilating the body, and abandoning it on a bicycle path near Gyeongan Stream.

The police estimated that B was deceased after receiving a report from B’s coworkers on the 26th that she was missing, and noting that there were no further phone call records or financial transactions.

Through analysis of closed-circuit television (CCTV), the police identified A as a suspect on the 27th and made an emergency arrest.

Subsequently, on the 29th, the police secured CCTV footage showing A discarding a contaminated blanket and carrying a bag presumed to contain the body, and applied for an arrest warrant.

That afternoon, the police found parts of B’s body, including an arm, under a wooden bridge on the bicycle path near Gyeongan Stream.

During the police investigation, A admitted to being in a former romantic relationship with B but completely denied the charges, claiming B had never come to his house.

The police are conducting a detailed investigation into the circumstances of the case with A.
