'Hidden Eye' will reveal the full details of the 'Daegu Mother-in-Law Assault and Murder Case' that shocked the entire nation.

According to MBC Plus on the 19th, the upcoming episode of MBC Every1's 'Hidden Eye', airing on the 22nd in the afternoon, will focus on the case of son-in-law Jo Jae-bok, who beat his mother-in-law for over 12 hours, causing her death, and then abandoned her body in a travel suitcase.

The case began in March when a woman's body was discovered inside a travel suitcase in a river in Daegu. During the investigation, CCTV footage captured a man and woman dragging the suitcase, and it was revealed that they were the victim's son-in-law, Jo Jae-bok, and her daughter, causing widespread social shock.

Investigations revealed that Jo Jae-bok brutally assaulted his mother-in-law in her 50s for over 12 hours before killing her. Even more shocking was that during the prolonged assault, the perpetrator would rest when tired and then resume the beating.

The program's participants paid close attention not only to the method of the crime but also to the motive. Jo Jae-bok was reported to have assaulted his mother-in-law for reasons that are difficult to comprehend by common sense, leaving the participants deeply shocked.

Notably, it was revealed that the victim's daughter was present at the scene during the incident. Although she witnessed the prolonged assault, she failed to actively intervene, and it was later discovered that she accompanied the perpetrator during the body abandonment process, sparking controversy.

At the time, the daughter was also investigated as an accomplice to the murder but ultimately faced no punishment. Profiler Pyo Chang-won stated, "This can be seen as a case of learned helplessness," analyzing the psychological state formed under long-term domestic violence and control.

In today's broadcast, an in-depth analysis will be shared regarding the relationships between Jo Jae-bok, his wife, and his mother-in-law, the process leading up to the incident, and why the daughter was unable to save her mother.

Meanwhile, 'Kwon Il-yong's Crime Rules' will also introduce the shocking case of a man who tied his pet dog to a tractor, visited a neighbor's house, and threatened, "I will kill you like this too." MC Kim Dong-hyun expressed anger, saying, "I cannot understand how someone could commit such an act." The program will air on the 22nd at 8:30 p.m.
