In a shocking incident in South Korea, a woman was brutally murdered by an individual who posed as a tuition student. This heinous crime has left the nation in shock and disbelief.
According to reports, the alleged culprit committed this act out of sheer curiosity. The details surrounding the incident are both disturbing and tragic.
The woman believed to be responsible for this gruesome crime has been identified as Jung Yoo-jung, a 23-year-old resident of Busan. Jung had been leading an isolated life since completing high school, although she was living with her relatives at the time of the alleged murder.
She was also pursuing studies to become a civil servant, as per her grandfather’s statements. The revelation of the suspect’s identity has shocked those who knew her and has left the community in disbelief.
Stuffed dead body into luggage
Jung reportedly initiated contact with the victim through a mobile app for tuition services. The victim, a freelance tuition teacher and university student in her 20s, believed she was communicating with the parent of a high school student in need of tutoring. A tuition session was arranged at the victim’s home in the Geumjeong District of Busan on 26 May. It is during this session that Jung arrived disguised as a high school student, successfully deceiving the victim and gaining access to her residence.
Tragically, the tuition session took a sinister turn, resulting in the murder of the victim. After the victim’s death, Jung proceeded to dismember her body, ruthlessly chopping it up. Shockingly, some of the victim’s body parts were later discovered to have been stuffed into a suitcase. Disturbing CCTV footage captured Jung rolling the suitcase through the streets, unaware of the magnitude of her crime and the consequences that would soon follow.
Rather than immediately disposing of the incriminating suitcase, Jung decided to take a taxi to a nearby riverside area. Astonishingly, the cab driver witnessed Jung entering the bushes with the bloodied suitcase and promptly alerted the police. Responding swiftly, law enforcement officers discovered the victim’s body parts discarded in the vicinity. Jung was apprehended on 27 May.
Unveiling the Motive
During the investigation, chilling details emerged about Jung’s motive and planning. It was revealed that she had been planning this murder for an extended period, with evidence suggesting her online activities related to murder and the absence of a corpse.
Jung claimed that her curiosity drove her to commit this horrific act. She allegedly wanted to experience what it would be like to take another person’s life, inspired by books and television shows centered around murder. The police discovered large plastic bags and bleach that support her claims of premeditation.
Following her arrest, Jung appears to display a sense of remorse for her actions. In a statement to the media, she expressed sorrow for the victim’s family. She acknowledged being “out of her mind” during the alleged murder, indicating a level of self-awareness about the gravity of her actions.
Jung’s grandfather, in an interview with the media, issued a sincere apology to the victim’s family, expressing regret for any failures in raising his granddaughter.
