Kim Hae-sun

On October 25, 2000, the first victim was found by her best friend. The victim, 11 year old Jung Hye-in, was found dead on a mountain about 300 feet away from the road on which she was last seen alive. A few days later, the autopsy confirmed that she had been strangled. Semen was also found on the victim's body.

On December 19, 2000, Kim, who was drunkenly wandering around, noticed a high school girl who was returning home alone. The girl reportedly had a strange feeling and ran away from the area.

That same day, 2 siblings, a brother in middle school and a sister in high school went missing on their way home. After the two disappeared, the brother, 12-year-old Park Hong-sun, who was in the first grade of middle school, was found dead the next morning about 900 feet away from his house. His body was covered with a shawl, and a yellow item was wrapped around his neck. 15 feet away, a woman's bra and panties, which were cut up with sharp tools, were found.

The sister, 15-year-old Park Eun-mi was found on a mountain 0.3 miles away from her brother's body. Her skirt had been turned upside down over the chest, covering the face, and both hands and legs were strapped to a tree with a string and stockings. The left foot had all the stockings peeled off, and her right foot was buried in the ground, her uniform wide open, and she had gloves in her mouth. In addition, she had been stabbed with a knife in her neck, legs, chest and vagina, with 6 inch and 8 inch cuts on her thighs. Cut off parts were later found in a ditch right in front of Kim Hae-sun's house, parts of which he testified had been eaten.

Fifty-six days after the first murder, the investigation team arrested Kim Hae-sun after the Park siblings were found dead.^[2]

On July 11, 2000, the Jeonju District Court sentenced Kim Hae-sun to death after he was convicted of rape and murder. Kim immediately appealed to the Supreme Court, but on September 27, 2001, the appeal was dismissed.
