Man Confesses to Murdering Girlfriend, Hiding Body in Cement for 16 Years
In a chilling revelation, a man in South Korea has admitted to killing his girlfriend and concealing her remains in cement for over a decade and a half.
The man, identified as Mr. A and in his 50s, disclosed to local authorities that he fatally struck the woman with a blunt object following a heated argument at his residence in the southern city of Geoje.
After her death, he placed her lifeless body inside a suitcase, which he then buried beneath a layer of bricks and cement on his balcony.
Discovery of the Body
The gruesome truth came to light last month when a maintenance worker stumbled upon the concealed remains while performing drilling work, as reported by local media.
Through fingerprint analysis, the body was confirmed to be that of the missing woman, whose cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head.
The Unfolding of Events
The man had lived with the woman for five years in their Geoje studio apartment, until the tragic incident in October 2008 that led to her demise.
Despite carrying on with his life in the apartment for another eight years, the man was eventually apprehended on drug-related charges in 2016.
16-Year Mystery Unraveled
Due to the apartment being left vacant after his arrest, the shocking truth remained hidden until this year, when maintenance work prompted the discovery of the woman’s body.
Her family had lost contact with her and were misled about her whereabouts, only realizing the truth years later when the building owner initiated maintenance work.
Legal Proceedings Underway
Law enforcement officials are actively investigating the case and are expected to formally charge the man with murder as the case unfolds. The tragic saga continues to unravel as the authorities delve deeper into this harrowing tale. — BBC
