Case[]
On the 22nd of August in 2006, an employee at the Jungnang Sewage Treatment Plant in the Seongdong district of Seoul stumbled across a plastic sack while moving garbage bags. Upon opening the bag, he discovered the dismembered arms and torso of a woman and immediately notified the police.
Upon autopsy, it was determined that the decedent had been deceased anywhere from six months to a year before her discovery alongside her occupation being determined as a housewife. The decedent's remains were initially believed to have belonged to Cheonan Jane Doe, who was discovered seven months prior, as she was missing her torso and arms. Though, this was later disproven through DNA and classified as a coincidence.
Identification[]
In 2008, it was announced that a man was arrested following a report from his daughter that her mother had been missing. Through DNA analysis, it was confirmed that the decedent was related to the daughter and identified as the suspect's wife, resulting in him being charged with her murder. Further details about the decedent and the case have not been publicly disclosed.
