"Something Like Water from the Bag..." Taxi Driver Who Drove Jeong Yoo-jeong Complains of Trauma

Taxi driver tells colleague, "I will take refuge"

The taxi driver who had given a ride to Jeong Yujeong (23), who is accused of murdering a woman her age with a weapon in Busan, mutilating the body, and abandoning it, is reportedly suffering from severe trauma.

According to a JTBC report on the 6th, taxi driver A, who gave Jeong Yujeong a ride while she was transporting the victim's body in a travel bag after killing a woman her age, has recently been taking time off work due to fear.

A colleague of driver A told the media, "(A) said he wouldn't work now and that he would take a temporary refuge."

On the 26th of last month, around 5:40 p.m., Jeong Yujeong went to the home of the victim, Ms. B, whom she had met through a tutoring brokerage app, and killed her with a weapon before abandoning the body in the grass along the Nakdong River. It was revealed through A’s report, who found it suspicious that Jeong Yujeong was discarding a bag stained with blood from the crime.

According to the report, A initially thought, "She must be a young woman traveling alone," but when he arrived at the destination and took out Jeong Yujeong’s bag, he told fellow drivers that "some liquid like water was leaking from the bag."

Following A’s report, the police urgently arrested Jeong Yujeong around 6 a.m. on the 27th of last month, a day after the crime.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Jeong Yujeong’s psychopathy diagnostic test results were significantly outside the normal range for the general population.
