Woman Killed by Police Officer Lover Found in Vomiting Position

Victim Found in Commercial Building Restroom

A woman who was killed by her current police officer boyfriend was found in a bathroom appearing to have had an accident while vomiting. The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.

According to the police on the 16th, the body of the woman who was killed by her current police officer boyfriend was discovered by a store employee in the bathroom of a commercial building in Hadang-dong, Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do, around 6 a.m. the previous day. Choi (30), who was urgently arrested on suspicion of murder, is an active police officer affiliated with the Mokpo Maritime Police Station.

At the time of discovery, the victim was found in a vomiting posture in the bathroom, and aside from traces of a nosebleed, there were no noticeable external injuries. Although the victim had already been killed, the 119 paramedics who arrived at the scene attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, considering the possibility that the woman might have had an accident while vomiting.

The suspect, police officer Choi, claims the crime was unintentional. Choi told the police, "We often fought. I got angry in the moment, hit her, and strangled her."

The police confirmed that on the day of the incident, the victim visited a restaurant inside the building with Choi and investigated Choi’s whereabouts.

According to the police, around 3:20 a.m., Choi followed the victim outside the restaurant and entered the bathroom. About 30 minutes later, he returned alone to the restaurant, paid the bill, and then headed back to the bathroom. Afterwards, Choi stayed inside the bathroom until about 5:30 a.m. and exited through a window instead of the door.

The police tracked Choi’s movements and arrested him around 4:30 p.m. on the day of the incident while he was hiding in a motel room near the crime scene.

The police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for Choi after reconstructing the overall incident, including whether there was an attempt to conceal the crime.
