Man testifies to murdering girlfriend, refrigerating her body
By Lim Jeong-yeoPublished : July 25, 2016 - 14:42
A 49-year-old man, named Lee, has been taken into custody after he testified to strangling his girlfriend and stowing her body in his refrigerator, Uijeongbu District Court said.
Lee said the victim, 33, “compared him with other men and sexually insulted him,” which led to a fight that escalated to murder.
Police found the victim’s body on July 22 around 3 p.m. in the suspect’s refrigerator as they launched an investigation into her disappearance after her family reported that she was missing.
The victim was last seen on July 19 leaving home around 7 p.m. to visit her boyfriend.
Lee said the victim, 33, “compared him with other men and sexually insulted him,” which led to a fight that escalated to murder.
Police found the victim’s body on July 22 around 3 p.m. in the suspect’s refrigerator as they launched an investigation into her disappearance after her family reported that she was missing.
The victim was last seen on July 19 leaving home around 7 p.m. to visit her boyfriend.
The murder took place between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. that night at the suspect’s flat.
The refrigerator containing the victim’s body was glued shut upon police discovery.
Lee was found and arrested at a residence in Chuncheon-si, Gangwon Province, about seven hours after the victim’s body was found.
A hearing took place on Sunday, after which the court issued a warrant to incarcerate Lee, lest he would destroy evidence or attempt to run away.
The police said Lee and the victim, both divorcees, met through a mutual friend. They dated for two to three months.
