In "Brave Detectives," detectives' investigative stories were drawn to uncover the brutal crimes of shameless criminals.
In the 68th episode of the T-Cast E-channel "Brave Detectives 4" (directed by Lee Ji-sun), which aired on the 23rd, police officers Koo Young-jae, police officer Yoon Jeong-ah of the National Police Agency's Women and Youth Crime Division, police officer Lee Kun-ho of the Gangbuk Police Station's Violent 3 Team, and police officer Park Soo-beom of the Gangbuk Police Station Investigation Team 4 made public the investigation log. Singer Han Hae joined as a guest.
The first case introduced on the day took as many as five years for the results of the investigation to be released, and the true nature of the murder was revealed after persistent tracking in the absence of clear evidence. Suspicions were raised when the son died while traveling to Boracay, Philippines, with a friend, and the bereaved family found insurance documents with about 700 million won in death insurance while arranging the belongings. In particular, the fact that the recipient of the insurance money was Jang (a pseudonym) who went on a trip with his son raised doubts.
Mr. Jang said, "I drank until 2 a.m. and fell asleepWhen I woke up in the morning, my friend was dead," he said. The death certificate in the Philippines listed an acute heart attack due to drinking due to optometry, and the bereaved family asked Jang to take care of the remains without any doubt, cremating the body there without an autopsy. However, after the funeral, Jang filed a civil suit against the bereaved family claiming 60 million won in debt, and insurance documents were confirmed.
Rather, the investigation team analyzed the victim's account and phone details to detect the situation of the victim's withdrawal of 70 million won just before his death, and also confirmed that he told his acquaintance, "I am suffering from the money I lent to my friend." Through CCTV and statements from local officials, Jang's statement was changed, and the posture at the time of the discovery of the body and the post-mortem stiffness time did not match the explanation. A local employee also said that Jang "cried in front of me and laughed and joked outside." In particular, the National Forensic Service identified that Zolpidem was detected in the victim's clothing, but the victim had no history of being prescribed the drug.
The investigation also revealed that Jang's wife worked as a nursing assistant and was prescribed a large amount of zolpidem for a long time, and that the timing of the trip and the timing of the drug prescription overlap. In addition, when a fire broke out in the studio where the victim lived in the past and worried about the deposit, it was revealed that Jang used it to manipulate notarized documents without actual money transactions. Jang was sentenced to prison on charges of fraud and forgery of private documents, but the investigation did not stop there.
During the insurance design process, there were statements that they tried to cover up changes in beneficiaries, and a message was also secured that mentioned the possibility of receiving 700 million won in insurance money in case of suffocation through forensic analysis. It was confirmed that Jang expected a large amount of money while claiming insurance money during the investigation. On top of that, the investigation team paid attention to the deliberate reduction of the contents related to the victim's death in his handwritten affidavit, and Jang's psychopathic test results also exceeded the standard. Through the advice of a forensic scientist, the investigation team broke Jang's lies one by one, and he was arrested again on murder charges upon release and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The second incident, which was then introduced, began with an urgent report by a man that "the grandmother downstairs seems to have died." At the scene, a 78-year-old naked victim was found lying on a blanket with a pillow over his face, and the cause of death was confirmed as suffocation. There were no signs of struggle, but a small amount of blood was found on pillows, blankets and the victim's clothing.
The decisive clue was male DNA detected under the victim's thigh, vulva, and nails. According to the analysis of the National Forensic Service, DNA is likely to be a male of South Asian descent, including India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Detectives identified a home where children of Asian descent came in and out of the victim's home just 50 meters away. The husband of the household was from Bangladesh, a naturalized man in his late 30s. The subscriber to the phone number he received from his wife was another foreigner, not Kim, but it turned out that Kim was a seller of a mobile phone and was investigated by the police for robbery and injury.
Detectives identified scratches on Kim's face, and the collected DNA matched the field DNA. He denied the allegations and stated that he had claimed DNA manipulation or was sleeping at home. However, he checked a number of phone records on the day of the incident through another hidden mobile phone. It turned out that Kim was in a violent emotional state after being notified of the breakup.
The investigation team judged that Kim targeted a victim who happened to be seen while looking for an object to express his anger while talking on the phone from outside. Kim also burst into tears during on-site verification, refusing to enter the house. However, the court sentenced Kim to life in prison. Kim applied for a public participation trial, but eight out of nine jurors found him guilty. In response to the application for a public participation trial, actress Kim Sun-young was angry that she "did not reflect until the end," and singer Han-hae also pointed out that "literally used shallow numbers."
