News From a news agency Under investigation
  • Police believe a man picked up the victim in Seoul on September 3 and drove her to Paju, where he handed her over to the man suspected of killing her.
  • The man later returned to Seoul and informed the victim’s family after she failed to come back.
  • Investigators are examining whether additional accomplices were involved in an alleged counterfeit gift-certificate organization.

Police investigating the death of a woman in her 60s at a cold-storage warehouse in Paju, Gyeonggi province, believe another man took her to the site before she was killed.

According to reports by KBS and MBC cited on September 8, man A met the victim in Seoul on the morning of September 3. He put her in his car, drove to Paju and took her to man B, a man in his 30s suspected of murder.

After the victim failed to return for some time following her meeting with B, A went back to Yeongdeungpo in Seoul and informed her family. Police have also reportedly identified the vehicle A used to take her to the site. He is believed to have worked as a gift-certificate broker and was not related to the victim or her family.

Investigators suspect that at least one more person may have been involved alongside B and A. They believe the people under investigation may belong to an organization dealing in counterfeit gift certificates. The Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul is continuing its investigation.
