55-Year Old Korean Woman Murders Her Friend By Drugging and Burying Her Alive
This is a horrible revenge tale:
A 55-year-old woman surnamed Lee and her son were both arrested on Thursday for burying her friend alive on her husband’s farm. The two face charges of murder and abandoning a corpse, while Lee’s husband has since committed suicide after police came to search his property.
On July 14, Lee called up her 49-year-old friend for a drive in Seongnam, Gyeonggi. They were longtime friends, having met at a social club in Seongnam over a decade ago. Lee’s 25-year-old son drove while Lee handed her friend a cup of coffee laced with sleeping pills. The mother-and-son pair drove to the farm of Lee’s husband in Cheorwon County, Gangwon, where they buried her friend alive.
Police began investigating the disappearance on Aug. 10, leaving open the possibility that the friend was being held against her will, given the inactivity they saw on her phone and bank account.
In September, police received reports that Lee had met the victim before her disappearance, and were able to confirm that Lee’s son had rented a car and driven to Cheorwon. Last Friday, the court issued an arrest warrant for Lee and Park on suspicion of holding the victim in confinement. Police arrested the two on Nov. 28.
The same day, police went to search the property of Lee’s husband. Though the 62-year-old husband was not regarded as a suspect, he hung himself in a storage room when they arrived, after excusing himself to the bathroom.
Lee and her son confessed to the crime late Tuesday. “She made me look like a thief,” Lee said.
In June last year, the victim had asked Lee to bring her some belongings from the home she was sharing with her abusive partner. But after the victim’s partner reported Lee to the police for larceny, the victim did not defend Lee. Lee was subsequently convicted and fined. [Joong Ang Ilbo]
You can read the rest at the link, but hopefully the mother and son spend a long time in prison because that is a horrible way to die.
This is a cautionary tale. Be careful who you piss off in this life. You never know who you are dealing with. I just got done reading a story about an Australian woman who killed her lover, then went all “Basic Instinct” on him, skinned him prefectly without damaging the skin, cut him up, decapitated him and cooked his body parts, including his head, which she used for stew. Google Katherine Knight for details.
Eek Tim…that’s like something out of Silence of the Lambs.
A buddy boiler.
I’m not helping anybody move and that’s final!
Liz,
Yeah except I don’t think she ate any of her lover. She just prepared him for eating to make everyone think she was crazy. She was pure evil. Like I said, if you Google Katherine Knight you can read the details.
