South Korean Police Mishandled a Crime Scene in 1989

The Hwasong serial killer had been terrorizing the Greater Hwasong area of South Korea for almost a decade. His victims were all women wearing red clothing, and he targeted them on rainy days. He was arrested in 1989 but released six months later due to lack of new evidence. Lee Chun-Jae remained quiet until 1993 when his wife filed for divorce citing irreconciable differences with her husband. When she turned up to collect some belongings from him, he strangled her before abducting their 18-year-old sister-in-law. In December of 2019, eight police officers have been accused of abusing Yoon Sung Yao while interrogating him about previous murders.
