Jung Yoo-jung, an unemployed loner living with her grandfather in South Korea, spent months meticulously planning a killing after becoming fixated on crime shows and novels . In May 2023, she used a tutoring app to contact more than 50 women, eventually finding a 26-year-old freelance English teacher in Busan . Disguised in a school uniform, she arrived at the victim's home and stabbed her over 100 times in a frenzied attack, continuing even after death . She then dismembered the body and dumped remains in a suitcase by a river, but was caught when a taxi driver alerted police . Sentenced to life in prison, she confessed to killing "out of curiosity."
