Korea's Most Infamous Case Solved After 33 Years | Korea's Zodiac Killer The Hwaseong Murders |

#truecrime #truecrimedocumentary #southkorea #mysterious A small rural village in Gyeonggi Province, close to the city of Hwaseong, was shaken by a string of rapes and killings that targeted the area's female residents in 1986. Ten women were killed over the period of five years, but due to limitations in technology at the time and a string of errors made during the investigation, the authorities were unable to pin down the killer. The brutality of the crimes and the lingering sense of resentment and anxiety arising from the fact that the perpetrator had not been apprehended made the Hwaseong serial killings one of the most well-known unsolved cases in South Korea for more than three decades. Let's explore the case of the Hwaseong murders. Lee Chun-jae, a serial killer from South Korea, is best known for the Hwaseong murders. In addition to countless sexual assaults, Lee murdered 15 women and young girls between 1986 and 1994, mostly in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, and the neighbouring districts. The serial killings are regarded as the most notorious in South Korea's recent history since they went unsolved for 30 years. The 2003 movie Memories of Murder was based on them. Despite DNA evidence and his confession to the other murders in 2019, Lee was unable to be tried for them since the statute of limitations had passed, despite the fact that he was sentenced to life in prison with the chance of parole after 20 years for the 1994 murder of his sister-in-law. Lee Chun-jae, who was born on January 31, 1963, had a solid education and interacted well with others, according to his mother, who was 75 years old when she was interviewed in 2019. When Lee's mother learned that her son was responsible for the murders in Hwaseong, she allegedly felt devastated and astonished. He allegedly suffered trauma from the drowning of his younger brother when he was a child. Lee enlisted in the Republic of Korea Army in February 1983 after finishing high school and served as a tank driver until he was released on January 23, 1986. Then, he started working for an electric component business. He started working at a construction firm in Cheongpa, Yongsan, in 1990, where he worked as a crane driver without a licence. He worked as a crane driver at a business in Cheongwon, Chungcheongbuk, the following year. Lee wed a bookkeeper in April 1992 and left his job in March 1993. Lee's wife claimed that he was an alcoholic and a violent man who frequently physically attacked her and their son. Around 00:55 on September 26, 1989, Lee entered a home in Gwangju, Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, with gloves and weapons before being caught by the landlord. In the first trial, which took place in February 1990, the Suwon District Court found him guilty of robbery and assault and sentenced him to one year and six months in jail. Following the initial trial, Lee appealed, saying that he had been assaulted by an unidentified young guy and had been forced into the victim's home while being chased. In the second trial, the court suspended Lee's sentence of two years of probation after hearing his appeal, and he was released in the middle of April 1990. ABOUT THE HWASEONG MURDERS The Hwaseong serial murders, a string of rapes and murders that took place in the small city of Hwaseong in Gyeonggi Province, were committed by Lee Chun-jae, while in his twenties, over the course of four years and seven months, from September 15, 1986, to April 3, 1991. The victims, all female, had been raped, bound, gagged, and in the majority of the cases, strangled to death using their own clothing, such as pantyhose or socks. With over 2 million man-days spent on the investigation and over 21,000 individuals questioned, the killings ignited South Korea's biggest criminal case to date. Lee was recognised as a suspect in 2019 after the crimes went unsolved for 30 years. He admitted to all ten serial killings plus four previously undisclosed murders that weren't on the original list of crimes. This included a case that had been deemed a copycat crime and for which Yoon Seung-yeo had previously received a life sentence. Because they were the first completely recognisable series of homicides with a comparable method of operation, the Hwaseong serial murders are notorious in South Korea. The case required the involvement of the police for 2 million man-days. The total number of suspects increased as well, finally reaching 21,280 people. Additionally, 570 DNA samples and 180 hair samples were examined, and 40,116 people had their fingerprints collected.
