A man beat his ex-wife to death and then disposed of her body in a drainage canal. His sons reported him, stating that โtheir father must be isolated from society.โ
After killing her, he placed her body in a travel suitcase and abandoned it in a drainage canal in the mountains.
According to them, he had often said things like, โShe should die soon,โ and regularly assaulted her whenever situations did not go his way. The children themselves were also frequently abused but were too afraid to report him.
In one incident, the eldest son left home after a confrontation with his father. The man then threatened the rest of the family, saying, โIf you contact him, I will kill you,โ which prevented the siblings from seeing each other for two years.
He was also largely unemployed and continued to live off his ex-wifeโs money even after their divorce. She not only supported herself but also financially supported her ex-husband and his parents. Despite this, he took out loans in her name to travel abroad and transferred ownership of properties into his own name.
On the day of the incident, the son saw his mother preparing to go to work and left for school. After arriving at school, he realized that she had not shown up for work and that her phone was turned off. He immediately reported the situation, but she was later found dead.
One of the sons stated, โI saw the crime scene reconstruction myself. He grabbed my mother as she was heading to work, started beating her at the entrance, dragged her into the bedroom, and continued beating her until she died. Normally, a person would stop if someone loses consciousness.โ
The sons argued that the crime was premeditated, pointing out that he strangled their mother until her death and removed the SIM card from her phone.

A man who murdered his girlfriend and kept her body concealed in cement for 16 years was finally brought to light.
In 2024, a womanโs body was discovered during construction work at a house in Geoje aimed at fixing a rainwater leak. The body had been tightly wrapped in multiple layers of vacuum-sealed plastic, with a towel around her neck. Due to the thick cement and sealed plastic, the body had not decomposed despite the passage of 16 years.
Through fingerprint identification, the victim was confirmed to be Jeong So-yeon, who had previously been reported missing. The perpetrator was her boyfriend, with whom she had been living.
In an attempt to reduce his sentence, he insulted her and claimed he committed the crime because she had been unfaithful. However, she was found wearing a sanitary pad, and no drugs of any kind were detected in her body.
According to people who knew her, she had long suffered physical abuse at his hands, often bearing bruises, and had been forced into prostitution to repay his debts, living a life akin to slavery.
He lived in the house where her body was buried for about eight years, until he was arrested in 2016 on drug-related charges.
Although the murder went unnoticed, the discovery of her body during construction led to his arrest 16 years later. He was subsequently sentenced to 14 years in prison.

A 23-year-old man, Jang Yoon-gi, who murdered a female high school student walking down the street, was found to have acted with the intent to commit rape.
He attempted to strangle her and drag her toward his vehicle, but when she resisted strongly, he killed her.
Initially, the police believed his motive was โventing frustration.โ He had previously approached a 20-year-old Vietnamese woman, but after she rejected him, he stalked and sexually assaulted her.
Although she reported him, the police closed the case without a formal investigation. Enraged by being reported, he decided to kill her, but after she moved to another area, he was unable to find her. Instead, he targeted a different female high school student, attempting to rape her, and killed her when she resisted.
Prosecutors determined that the methods and patterns of sexual crimes he committed against both the Vietnamese woman and the high school student were similar, and decided to charge him with rape and murder, among other offenses.
Another disturbing detail is that a sex doll was found in his home, and its neck and chest had been slashed multiple times with a knife. The area where he stabbed the female high school student was also the neck, and he had likewise attempted to stab the Vietnamese woman in the neck.
Additionally, it was revealed that last year he had secretly filmed a female middle school student multiple times.
The victimโs family stated, โHe had already committed crimes in the past, yet proper punishment was not carried out in time, which ultimately led to this crime against our child. Facing his shameless lack of remorse is an unbearable pain for our family,โ and they demanded strict punishment.
