A court in South Korea has slapped 23-year-old Jung Yoo-jung with a life sentence after she was convicted of committing a murder because she wanted to “try it out” and was “curious.” Yoo-jung was said to be “fixated on true crime shows and novels” and “scored highly on psychopath tests.”
- The evidence showed that Yoo-jung used an app to find and target an English teacher
- Dressed in a school uniform she bought online, Yoo-jung showed up at the teacher’s home for a lesson in May
- That teacher was stabbed over 100 times by Yoo-jung
- She then “dismembered the body” and took a ride in a taxi to disperse of some of the remains near a river
- It was the taxi driver who tipped off the police, reporting “a customer who had dumped a blood-soaked suitcase in the woods”
- An investigation revealed an online browsing history filled with searches on “how to kill, and get rid of a body”
Not for nothing, but she sure could’ve chosen to watch true crime shows that were better written and more thoroughly researched, don’t you think?
