Police disclose identity of Chinese man suspected of murdering his student

On Tuesday, police revealed the identity of a Chinese man suspected of murdering his student, also from China, in Gyeongsan, a southeastern city in South Korea. Zheng Changsheng, aged 31, was formally arrested on Thursday for allegedly committing the crime at his home on August 20. The 25-year-old female student was mutilated and her body parts were discarded in various locations within Gunpo city, near Seoul, and the southeastern city of Gyeongju.

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency has posted Zheng's mug shots and personal details on their website, which will remain accessible until October 1. Police intend to forward Zheng to the prosecution by Friday. In addition to the murder charge, the suspect is also accused of filing a false missing person report, dressing as a woman at a train station to evade police, and switching off the victim's mobile phone near the station, all attempts to hinder the investigation.
