A new photo of Koh Yu-jeong, who has admitted murdering her ex-husband on Jeju Island in May, has been revealed through a TV show preview.
JTBC's “Spotlight” posted a video clip containing a clear image of the suspect, 36, on YouTube, Tuesday, to promote its Wednesday episode.
Koh, who was arrested last month on charges of killing her ex-husband Kang, 36, has refused to comply with a police decision to show her face to the media. Under the law, police cannot enforce it, so journalists only have had access to blurry images of her face.
According to police, Koh mixed a sleeping drug into her husband's curry rice before killing him with a knife at a pension in a remote town on Jeju, May 25. She then dismembered his body before discarding the parts into the sea and at other places, police said.
