A Korean man brutally murdered his girlfriend and buried her body in a suitcase after police ignored reports of domestic violence. There was a long history of domestic violence and stalking in their relationship.
The suspect, identified only as Mr Lee violently murdered his girlfriend Kim, in a ‘fit of anger’, a year after she reported him to local police for domestic abuse.
Kim’s sister said that when things didn’t go the way Lee wanted, he beat her badly.“I heard from close friends of hers there that one time my sister kneeled and begged for him to stop beating her,” she said. “I think she thought he had changed, and they dated again it probably happened over and over again.”
The victim, Sunny Kim, 26, went missing on May 2, according to reports. Two weeks later Mr Lee, 24, turned himself into a police station in Busan, southeast Korea, and confessed to killing Kim after she tried to end their relationship.
“I killed my girlfriend and buried the body. I also tried to kill myself,” he told police, according to local media reports.
Lee claimed to have carried his girlfriend’s body to the mountains in the suitcase. He then buried her in a meter-deep hole and covered it with cement.
After the murder, Mr Lee, responded to text messages received on Kim’s phone by impersonating her to relatives and a prospective employer in an attempt to cover his tracks, say reports.
Korean media have reported that Lee followed Kim back to her apartment on the evening of her murder.
Mr Lee was taken to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Gwanak station, after coming forward with his wrists slit after allegedly attempting to commit suicide.
“The way that he texted me was how would my sister would text,” Kim’s sister, who has asked not to be named, said. “We think he may have gone through her phone to see how she usually contacts us. It was really shocking to see how someone can really hide what they did in that way.”

The US Supreme Court today June 26th ruled that same-sex marriages must be recognized in all 50 states of the United States of America. Texas will probably appeal.
From The Washington Post
The Supreme Court on Friday delivered a historic victory for gay rights, ruling 5 to 4 that the Constitution requires that same-sex couples be allowed to marry no matter where they live and that states may no longer reserve the right only for heterosexual couples.
People jubilating after the rulingThe court’s action marks the culmination of an unprecedented upheaval in public opinion and the nation’s jurisprudence. Advocates called it the most pressing civil rights issue of modern times, while critics said the courts had sent the country into uncharted territory by changing the traditional definition of marriage.
“Under the Constitution, same-sex couples seek in marriage the same legal treatment as opposite-sex couples, and it would disparage their choices and diminish their personhood to deny them this right,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion.
He was joined in the ruling by the court’s liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
All four of the court’s most conservative members — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. — dissented and each wrote a separate opinion, saying the court had usurped a power that belongs to the people.
