Korean Serial Killer caught!

Looks like they caught a Korean man in Seoul who killed 20+ people.


Quote:
Police on Sunday said they have captured a serial killer suspected of murdering at least 20 people in Seoul and other areas from September last year.

The suspect, identified as Yoo Young-chul, admitted he killed 11 women and buried them in the mountains near Yonsei University in Seoul, police said.

Police recovered the remains of their bodies, which had been cut into pieces before being buried.
Yoo, 33, also confessed to eight other killings, according to the police. He told them that he committed the premeditated crimes out of blind hatred and hostility toward women and rich people.


The killing spree began on Sept. 24 last year when he murdered a wealthy couple in Sinsa-dong, southern Seoul. On Oct. 9, he also killed three members of a family in Chongno-gu, Seoul.
The following month, after killing a 71-year-old man in Kangnam-gu, he moved to Hyehwa-dong, Seoul, and murdered an 87-year-old luxury home owner and a female housekeeper. Police said he also set the house on fire to destroy evidence.
This has got to send shock waves through Korea. Is this Korea's first true serial killer? Anyone seeing anything on Korean TV?
Mike

There was the Hwa-sung County serial rapist/killer who raped and then murdered ten women during a five year stretch (86-91). This case was never solved.

That story has been made into a movie. Here's a review of it:
