Police, search operation near abandoned place… Diver engagement plan
Warrant review this morning
Police are speeding up their investigation into a man in his 30s who confessed to the murder of his cohabitant several months ago even before the shock of the taxi driver’s body was found in a closet.
The police secured details such as the specific timing and method of the crime through the suspect’s statement, and plans to conduct an underwater search operation by putting divers near the body’s abandonment site.
According to the Ilsan Eastern Police Station in Gyeonggi Province, a warrant review for A (32), who has been charged with murder and concealing a body, will be held at the Goyang Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court at 10:30 am on the same day.
Mr. A caused an accident with a taxi while driving drunk in Goyang at around 11:00 pm on the 20th. are being accused
The body hidden in the closet was found by A’s current girlfriend and reported to the police on the 25th.
At the dawn of the same day, Mr. B’s family also filed a missing person report to the police.
In addition, Mr. A is also accused of murdering Mr. C, a woman in her 50s who was the landlord and ex-girlfriend, at a house in Paju in early August and abandoned the body in Gongneungcheonbyeon, Paju.
Mr. A claimed that he had been dating Mr. C for several years and had lived together since April of this year.
In particular, it is said that even after killing Mr. C, he continued to live in the house calmly and stayed with his new girlfriend.
In a police investigation, Mr. A stated, “After arguing with (Mr. C) and killing him with a blunt instrument, he put the body in a loopback (a device installed to load luggage on the roof of a vehicle), moved it, and abandoned it by the river.”
According to Mr. A’s statement, the police started the search for the body the day before, and today they plan to expand the scope of the search with support from helicopters and underwater divers.
However, it rained a lot in the metropolitan area last summer, and since it has been nearly five months since the crime, it is possible that it will take a considerable amount of time to find the body.
Mr. A used the victims’ credit cards immediately after the two crimes, and the amount was found to reach about 70 million won, including the loan execution amount.
About 50 million won was swindled from the credit card of taxi driver B, and about 20 million won was used from the credit card of Mr. C, who lives with him.
It was investigated that there was even a debt of about 100 million won due to loans in the name of Mr. C, and it seems that the timing of the execution of this loan can be accurately confirmed only after the police have received a warrant for seizure of telecommunications and accounts.
Mr. A claims that both crimes were accidental crimes committed in anger, but the police are intensively investigating whether they were planned crimes, considering that both of them obtained financial gains immediately after the crimes.
