141 Bodies Recovered at Daejeon Golryeonggol 'Civilian Massacre' Site... Including Teenagers and Women

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] A total of 141 remains were recovered from the Golryeonggol (Sannae Nangwol-dong) civilian massacre site in Daejeon. The remains include teenagers and women.

According to Daejeon City and Dong-gu Office on the 15th, the Joint Investigation Team for the Excavation of Civilian Massacre Remains during the Korean War (hereafter Joint Investigation Team) has been conducting the 9th joint excavation of remains around Golryeonggol since last September, recovering 141 remains so far and excavating an additional 50 remains for investigation.

Most of the excavated remains are identified as males aged 18 to 35, and numerous bullet casings and handcuffs, presumed to have been used in the massacre, were found at the site.

Some of the remains include minors under 18 years old (based on teeth) and women (based on pelvic bone fragments).

The Golryeonggol area is known as the site where civilians imprisoned in Daejeon Prison from June 1950 to January 1951 during the Korean War were collectively massacred and secretly buried.

Meanwhile, Daejeon City and Dong-gu Office are creating the Sannae Peace Park, a 110,000㎡ space to commemorate the civilian massacre victims in the Golryeonggol area.
