According to the police, Ms. A is suspected of approaching Ms. B, a woman in her 20s, on a part-time job app on the afternoon of the 26th, pretending to be a parent looking for a tutor, and killing her with a weapon and mutilating the body.
After mutilating Ms. B's corpse, Ms. A put it in a travel bag and took a taxi around 3 a.m. on the 27th, got off between Hopo Station and Mulgeum Station in Yangsan, Gyeongnam, and then abandoned the body and bag in the nearby Nakdong River riverside bushes.
The taxi driver, noticing bloodstains on the bag, found it suspicious when Ms. A asked to be dropped off in a sparsely populated area at dawn and reported it to the police.
The responding police confirmed parts of the corpse and Ms. B's ID card in the carrier and urgently arrested Ms. A around 6 a.m. that day. The rest of the body was found at Ms. B's home.
The Busan District Court issued an arrest warrant for Ms. A on the 29th, citing concerns that she might flee, and Ms. A is currently being investigated at the police station detention center.
