True Crime Obsessed Woman Sentenced to Life for Brutal Murder

Jung Yoo-jung meticulously planned and executed the murder of an English tutor, inciting fear and distrust in South Korean society.

Jung Yoo-jung, a 23-year-old South Korean woman obsessed with true crime, has been sentenced to life in prison for the brutal murder of a 26-year-old English tutor.
Jung had meticulously planned the murder, using an online tutoring app to find a victim, posing as a high school student, and stabbing the tutor over 100 times in her own home.
After the murder, Jung dismembered the victim's body and attempted to dispose of it in a remote parkland, but was caught after a taxi driver reported her suspicious behavior to the police.
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty, but Jung pleaded for leniency, claiming she suffered from hallucinations and other mental disorders. The court rejected her claims, citing the careful planning and execution of the crime.
Jung's crime has reportedly incited fear and distrust in South Korean society, with the judge stating that it demonstrated that anyone could become a victim for no reason.
