The Yeosu Police Station in Jeollanam-do announced on the 28th that suspect C (31) has been arrested on charges of murder and aggravated confinement causing injury in connection with the case of A (31), who was found dead inside a vehicle at a drowsiness rest area on the Expo-daero expressway in Yeosu City, and B (30), who was found injured with thigh sepsis and other wounds.


C is accused of causing A's death by making them assault each other and inflicting injuries such as thigh sepsis on B.

According to the police investigation, C had been creating various false debts, including attorney fees, against the victims he met years ago over civil consultation issues, and embezzling money.


Since around June, he reportedly forced those under his psychological control to live in a vehicle and made them assault each other with baseball bats, rebar, and other objects if they did not follow his orders.


At the time of the report, B testified that he had been living in the car with A, with whom he had a debt relationship, for about three days and that A died after they assaulted each other.


The police found many inconsistencies in this statement and uncovered C's crime through analysis of vehicle black box footage, call records, CCTV, and evidence collection, leading to his arrest and detention.



The police are conducting additional investigations into the suspect's bank accounts and plan to investigate whether there are other victims or related crimes.
