South Korean police said Thursday that they have found a suspect thought to be an infamous serial killer wanted for the slayings of nine women about 30 years ago.
Senior police officer Ban Gi-soo said police have continued their investigation into the 1986-1991 slayings even after the statute of limitations expired 13 years ago in order to find the truth.Ban said the technological improvement of DNA analysis allowed authorities to extract DNA samples from evidence in a way that was not yet possible at the time of the crimes.
South Korean media, citing unidentified police and other officials, reported the suspect is a 56-year-old man who is serving a life sentence for raping and killing his sister-in-law in 1994.Between 1986 and 1991, 10 girls and women ages 13 to 71 were found slain in Hwasong, a city just south of Seoul. All had been raped and all were found bound by their own stockings and clothing at sites within a radius of 1.9 miles.
