The identity of the bloodstains found at the residence of Lee Ki-young, who was arrested for the murder of his cohabitant and a taxi driver, was found to be that of an acquaintance and his cohabitant who died.
The Ilsan Eastern Police Station in Gyeonggi-do said that it sent a DNA (gene) control group of six women to the National Institute of Scientific Investigation and received a reply today (6th) to identify the bloodstains of the two women from the residence of Lee Ki-young.
The DNA of two women was detected in the bloodstains previously secured by the police as evidence, and the police have been suspicious of whether there are additional victims other than the deceased cohabitant.
A police official explained, "The DNA from the bloodstains is the murdered cohabitant and an acquaintance of the cohabitant who fought with Lee Ki-young."
First of all, the police believe that the DNA of the blood found in the bedroom, the scene of the crime, belongs to a woman in her 50s who was murdered while living with Lee Ki-young.
Although Mr. A's body has not been found and Mr. A's parents have not been contacted at all, there is no definite DNA control, but the DNA from the traces of life in the house and the DNA from the blood matched.
In addition, as a result of a comprehensive analysis based on the details of the crime Lee Ki-young confessed to, the police believe that it is the blood of Mr. A.
The police collected the DNA of Mr. A's brother and submitted it to the National Forensic Service, but it was said that the comparison result was uncertain because it was her brother and sister.
The identity of the other person was identified as Mr. B, an acquaintance of the woman living with him.
Mr. B visited this house in April of last year and had a physical fight with Mr. Lee, and was reported to 112.
At this time, it is said that Lee Ki-young bit B's finger and it was bleeding.
