The woman, identified as Jung Yoo-jung, reportedly signed up for a mobile application that connects parents with private tutors. She posed as the mother of a ninth-grade student and connected online with another woman in her 20s. Jung scheduled a consultation with the English tutor for her supposed daughter at the home of the victim.
On May 26, Jung appeared at the woman’s home dressed in a school uniform that she obtained online. Once Jung was inside the victim’s home, she allegedly stabbed the victim to death with a knife before dismembering her body.
“Jung was found to have premeditated the crime driven by a desire to kill someone after she became obsessed with murder from TV programs and books,” a police spokesperson said. “Jung also said she feels sorry for what she did. We are conducting tests to see if she is a psychopath.”
