[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A man in his 50s who killed a woman in her 60s and disposed of her body because he felt disrespected was arrested by the police. He stated that the motive for the crime was "because she disrespected me."

According to the Pohang Northern Police Station on the 12th, Mr. A (59) is accused of strangling Ms. B to death at her home located in Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk, around 7 p.m. on the 8th, and then disposing of her body in a mountain in Nam-gu.

The two, who had known each other, met that day to conduct a transaction involving Ms. B's old house. However, during the transaction, a verbal dispute broke out, and it was confirmed that Mr. A, feeling emotionally hurt, killed Ms. B.

During the police investigation, Mr. A stated, "I committed the crime because I felt humiliated by being disrespected." The police revealed that at the time of the crime, Mr. A was wearing an electronic monitoring device (electronic anklet) due to a prior sex crime conviction.

On the afternoon of the 9th, the police received a missing person report from Ms. B's son, stating that he could not contact his mother, and launched an investigation. During the search, the police identified Mr. A, who was the last person to meet Ms. B, as a suspect and obtained a full confession during the investigation.
