[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A man in his 50s who beat to death a female elementary school classmate and dumped her body by a riverside has been apprehended, and an arrest warrant has been requested.

Gumi Police Station in Gyeongbuk announced on the 13th that they have requested an arrest warrant for A (57, male) on charges of murder and corpse abandonment after he killed an elementary school classmate by striking her with a blunt weapon and then dumping her body by the riverbank, reportedly because she ignored him.

A is accused of killing B (57, female) on the evening of the 10th around 7:50 PM in Hwangsan-ri, Goa-eup, Gumi, after an argument while she was riding in his car. He struck her multiple times with a blunt weapon and then abandoned her body near a nearby stream.

According to the police, A stated that he committed the crime because he was hurt by B’s frequent dismissive remarks toward him.

The police began investigating after receiving a report from B’s husband, who said, “My wife left home on the afternoon of the 9th and has been unreachable since.”

After the investigation started, a local resident in Goa-eup found B’s cellphone near the crime scene and reported it to the police.

The police identified A’s vehicle on nearby CCTV footage, registered it as a wanted vehicle, and began tracking it.

On the 11th at around 9:10 PM, A’s vehicle, which was attempting to flee upon seeing a patrol car, was chased by the police for about 10 minutes before crashing into a utility pole and coming to a stop. The police then apprehended A inside the vehicle.

Before being caught by the police, A inflicted a wrist injury on himself with the blunt weapon and received hospital treatment.
