On the 23rd, Geoje Police Station in Gyeongnam announced that they had arrested a man in his 50s, B, on suspicion of murdering his cohabiting woman A and concealing the body.
Suspect B, who had been living with A since 2004, allegedly assaulted A (at the time of the incident) at the officetel (a combined residence and office) in Geoje where they were living together on or around October 10, 2008.
Suspect B is suspected of getting into a fight with A (in his 30s at the time) and assaulting A on the head and face with a blunt object, resulting in the death of A. Suspect B put A's body in a travel bag and placed it on a balcony outside the residence.
It was confirmed that the body had been hidden by piling up bricks and cementing it. Suspect B continued to live in this place until 2016, after which he moved out, leaving the body behind.
Suspect B's crime came to light last month when a suitcase containing the body was discovered while breaking up a concrete structure to carry out water leakage repairs.
Police confirmed through an autopsy that she died from blunt force trauma to the head. They also confirmed that A had been living at the address since 2006 and that she had been reported missing around 2011.
Police identified B as a suspect and arrested him at his residence in Yangsan on the 19th of this month. Suspect B admitted to the crime during police investigation.
Furthermore, during the investigation it was confirmed that suspect B had been using methamphetamine.
