Hybe refutes Ador CEO Min's denial of breach of trust
The upper half of a body matching a lower half found on Sunday was discovered on Gyeonggi Province’s Daebudo Island on Tuesday.
On Sunday, a tourist had discovered the severed lower-half of a male body in a trench, naked except for the blanket and the gunny sack in which it was wrapped.
More than 900 police had searched the area with drones and boats, finally finding the upper half of the body in a gunny sack.
The Ansan Danwon police, which is in charge of the case, said the victim’s face was badly decomposed, making it impossible to identify him by his face. His bloated fingers meant that it would take at least five hours to scan his fingerprints.
As soon as they are certain of his identity, the police will search for suspects.
The police hope to find pertinent leads from a surveillance camera next to where the torso was found.
