Mr. A is suspected of killing his wife, Ms. B, in her 40s, by assaulting her with a blunt object at their multi-family house in Suwon City around the end of November last year. He is also accused of placing Ms. B's body in the trunk of his car and hiding it in a parking lot in Suwon City.

The police began their investigation after receiving a missing person report from an acquaintance of Ms. B. After no signs of Ms. B being alive were confirmed following the report, the police classified it as a serious case and formed a dedicated team to conduct the investigation.

Based on inquiries revealing frequent disputes between Ms. B and her husband Mr. A, as well as witness statements regarding Mr. A, the police identified him as the prime suspect, obtained an arrest and search warrant, and arrested Mr. A on the 19th.

Subsequently, Ms. B's body was found concealed in Mr. A's vehicle. It was determined that Mr. A had worked as a day laborer in the past but had not been working since the crime. It remains unclear whether Mr. A continued to use the vehicle where the body was stored after the crime.

There is no evidence yet that Mr. A attempted to dispose of the body hidden in the vehicle by other means or at a different location. Mr. A is reported to have fully admitted to the crime during police questioning.

The police plan to request an autopsy from the National Forensic Service to determine the cause of death of Ms. B's body and will apply for an arrest warrant for Mr. A on the same day.
