Skeleton Found at Gangdong-gu Office Station Registered as Unsolved Case

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] After a skull in a skeletal state was discovered in the heart of downtown Seoul last October, the police launched an investigation but failed to find any suspicious points, and it was confirmed on the 9th that the case was registered as a cold case.

According to the Gangdong Police Station in Seoul on that day, after reviewing nearby CCTV footage, the police could not identify any person who approached the area and registered the case as a cold case.

The police received a report on October 13 last year at around 11:40 a.m. that a skull was found between a ventilation shaft and a flower bed in front of Exit 1 of Gangdong-gu Office Station in Pungnap-dong, Gangdong-gu. At the time, a cleaner who was cleaning the ventilation shaft discovered it and notified the police. No other body parts were found at the scene besides the skull.

Subsequently, the police sent the remains to the National Forensic Service for a detailed examination, but the initial verbal opinion from the National Forensic Service was that no criminal suspicion was confirmed.

Regarding this, a police official stated, "It is correct that this case has been registered as a cold case."
