A true crime “obsessed” 23-year-old woman has been indicted on murder charges in South Korea after she apparently confessed to killing her tutor “out of curiosity,” according to local reports. Jung Yoo-jung was indicted Friday in Busan, a port city along South Korea’s southeastern coastline, after family members reportedly urged her to tell the truth and confess to why she killed the young female tutor whose identity has not been revealed. “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 spokesman said, according to local media outlet The Chosun Ilbo.

Surveillance footage taken from a security camera later showed Jung bringing a suitcase to the scene of the crime that she allegedly used to carry and discard parts of the victim’s body.

The taxi driver was apparently suspicious of Jung and called the police. Police officers later found remaining body parts in garbage bags at Jung’s home, reports said.Authorities recently said they were alarmed by Jung’s demeanor and noted she appeared eerily calm after allegedly carrying out the gruesome murder.

Jung later told authorities “I think I was out of my mind” when pressed about her alleged crime, reported The Korean Times.
