police arrested four people who buried their bodies after killing an intellectually disabled person.
They are known to have told the police that the victim repeatedly lied and committed the crime.
Reporter Park Chan-beom covered the story.
<Reporter> It
is a mountain in Daegot-myeon, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do.
There are no private houses in the vicinity, and vehicle traffic is rare.
On the 20th of last month, a resident digging for herbs found a body with severe corruption and reported it to the police.
[Body collection site witness: I saw the police, the police car, and the National Forensic Service van come here.
What do you have to do to get there (where the body was found)?
I just went up and down the street.]
As a result of checking the body's fingerprints, it was a 28-year-old man with intellectual disability, A, who lost contact after leaving the house in September last year.
The police saw A and four men and women in their 20s and 30s who lived together in a multi-family house in Incheon as potential suspects and arrested them in Incheon and Gyeongbuk, respectively.
As a result of the police investigation, it was found that two men, including a man in his 30s with intellectual disabilities, continuously beat A to death in December last year, and two women who lived together were also present when A's body was abandoned in the wild.
It was confirmed that the bodies were loaded into a rental car and moved to a nearby mountain.
It is known that they made statements to the police to the effect that Mr. A kept lying and beat him.
The police arrested two men who assaulted and killed A, and two other women on charges of aiding and abetting murder.
After determining the exact cause of death through an autopsy, the police plan to investigate how they came to live together since September last year.
