South Korean police have raided a plastic surgery clinic in connection with the suspected crypto-motivated kidnap and murder of a 48-year-old woman.
The woman’s body was found late last month in a case that has dominated headlines in the country.
Three men were captured on video apparently attacking the woman on the street in the wealthy Gangnam District of Seoul — before dragging her into a car.
Police think the gang hoped to steal the woman’s “considerable” crypto holdings.
Officers think that the woman was drugged with a ketamine-based anesthetic.
The national broadcaster KBS reported that officers had raided a plastic surgery clinic in connection with this possible link.
Who Are the Suspects in ‘Crypto Murder’ Case?
Authorities have apprehended three individuals, recently identified as Lee Kyung-woo (36), Hwang Dae-han (36), and Yeon Ji-ho (30), in connection with the murder investigation.
The suspects are now facing criminal charges, and the police have disclosed their photographs to the public.
Lee’s relatives are believed to work at the clinic in question.
Fourth Journal reported that the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency spent several days deliberating whether it should make the suspects’ identities public.
But the agency concluded that it was “in the public interest” that their identities be revealed.
