The criminal who raped and then killed a woman in her 70s on 'Brave Detective 4' provoked public outrage.
On the 57th episode of T-cast E Channel's 'Brave Detective 4' (directed by Lee Ji-seon), which aired on the 7th, former Cheonan Seobuk Police Station criminal division chief Superintendent Park No-hwan and former commissioner of the forensic investigation unit (KCSI) Yoon Woe-chul and Inspector Kim Jin-su grants appeared and revealed the investigation log.
The first case introduced that day began with a wife's report that her husband, who had said he was going to meet a creditor three days earlier, never returned home and could not be reached, suggesting he had been kidnapped. The couple had about 930 million won in debt, including private loans, due to a failed business. After the business failed, the husband worked at construction sites in other regions and had been coming home only once or twice a week, and happened to meet the creditor.
The husband's parked car had disappeared, so it was presumed he left in the vehicle, but his movement path was difficult to verify. Also, his cell phone was turned off shortly after he went out. However, there was no contact from the kidnappers, all eight creditors had no suspicious points and had solid alibis. One and a half months after the missing person report was filed, the husband's car was found near a shopping mall behind a terminal, and his body was in the trunk.
As questions grew, unlike the missing family who appeared distraught, the wife showed no such signs, and six life insurance policies had been taken out in the husband's name starting two months before the disappearance. The beneficiary was the mother-in-law, who could receive 1.1 billion won in the event of accidental death. As a result, the wife was identified as a prime suspect.
A review of the wife's call logs and financial records showed that she most frequently called a man of the same age before and after the husband's disappearance, and cash withdrawal records matched deposits into the man's bank account. It was confirmed the man was the wife's extramarital partner. In particular, until three days before the missing person report, the two were seen riding together to a hot spring trip and living together in a one-room apartment, shocking the public.
On the day of the disappearance, the movements of the wife's lover, Mr. Kang (alias), were checked, but the locations of his phone and car did not match. To fabricate alibis, the wife carried Mr. Kang's cell phone, and someone else drove his car in another area. Also, on the morning of the disappearance, Mr. Kang was found to have followed the husband in the work area with a man of the same age. It was revealed that even the vehicle of Mr. Kang's mother's live-in partner was mobilized, exposing an extraordinarily complex manipulation of movements. The wife and Mr. Kang were arrested together in the one-room apartment, and an accomplice was also arrested. The three, who were being interrogated separately, denied the crime but confessed one by one as evidence emerged. The accomplice was a friend of Mr. Kang.
Particularly, it was reported that the adulterous couple were preparing to emigrate to New Zealand with the husband's insurance money, which added to the anger. They pretended the husband had been in a traffic accident and planned to kill him by stabbing, but when that failed, the wife said a private lender came and caused a scene, prompting the husband to go out, and they carried out a new plan. Also, to quickly file a report and claim the insurance money, they abandoned the body behind a terminal with heavy foot traffic. The wife was sentenced to 22 years in prison, Mr. Kang to 22 years, and the accomplice to 8 years.
The case introduced by KCSI that followed began with a caregiver's report that the elderly woman she cared for was found dead at home. The elderly woman, collapsed in a small one-room apartment, was wearing a vest on her upper body but had no underwear on her lower body and was found half-naked. Bloodstains were scattered throughout the room, and it was a mess. The perpetrator left his underwear behind, startling everyone.
The elderly woman, who lived alone, suffered from diabetes, high blood pressure and Parkinson's disease, making it difficult even to walk. Unknown male DNA was found on the discovered underwear, the elderly woman had been beaten so that teeth were broken and had fractures in as many as 10 places, and signs of a sexual crime also emerged. DNA samples were collected from nearby residents but all were mismatches.
Thinking that a means of transportation was essential for the perpetrator, detectives requested tips from taxi drivers, and a report came in that a nervous-looking passenger had been picked up about 1 km from the scene. The male passenger, estimated to be in his late 20s to early 30s, had dried blood on his forehead and was oddly wearing women's pants. The taxi driver testified that the passenger had gotten off in a villa area saying he had no cash and would go find money, then fled, leaving a lasting impression. During inquiries, a trace presumed to be blood was found on a villa entrance doorknob, and National Forensic Service DNA analysis showed it matched the DNA at the scene. The perpetrator was a 29-year-old ordinary office worker.
The arrested perpetrator continued a preposterous testimony claiming the victim was a woman in her 40s or 50s. He said he had drunk with colleagues after a year-end party and, with no memory, wandered alone and entered an open house where he assaulted the woman and removed her pants. He reportedly even brazenly added, "I must have wanted to rape her." It was reported that due to diminished responsibility and a settlement with the bereaved family, he was sentenced to nine years in prison, which made everyone angrier.
