Boy found burned to death… identity of brutal culprit (Yonghyung 4)
On the 28th (Friday) at 9:50 PM on the Taekwang Group‘s media affiliate Tcast E Channel, on the show ‘Brave Detectives 4 (directed by Lee Ji-sun), former Superintendent Yoon Oe-chul and Superintendent Kim Jin-soo of the Scientific Investigation Unit (KCSI) will appear and dig into the case that started in a peach orchard in Cheongdo.
An old man who was taking an early morning walk discovered a small burnt body in a peach orchard. The clothes the person was wearing at the time of death were burned and stuck to his skin, and his entire body was charred.
Also, the shape of the leg binding was unusual; the knees and calves were pulled together and bound with duct tape. Professor Kwon Il-yong said, “It is unlikely that the binding was intended to restrict movement. I guessed that the binding was intended to reduce the volume of the body to make it easier to move.” He relayed the situation at the time.
The cause of death of the young boy who unfortunately died was asphyxiation due to cervical compression. The victim, who was 140-150cm tall and had a foot length of 200mm, is estimated to have been an upper elementary school student or a middle school student.
Fingerprints were collected from the burned fingers, but the victim’s identity could not be confirmed because he was a minor. The investigation team used computer graphics to reconstruct the face and distributed flyers to Daegu, a nearby area of Cheongdo, but they were unable to obtain any information about the victim.
The investigation team sent official documents to over 100 elementary and middle schools in Cheongdo and nearby areas to try to identify the victim. Finally, after a month of investigation, they were able to identify the deceased child, and the investigation gained momentum.
A small body found charred under a peach tree. The identity of the culprit who brutally murdered the boy is revealed.
