Police in South Korea have revealed the identity of a Chinese man suspected of murdering his 25-year-old female student from China in the city of Gyeongsan last month. Zheng Changsheng, 31, was formally arrested on Thursday in connection with the case.

According to the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency, Zheng's name, age, and mug shots were posted on their website, where they will remain until October 1. The agency plans to forward Zheng to the prosecution by Friday.
