30 years! The serial killer who was the prototype of the highly rated film "Memories of Murder" has been found

Bong Joon-ho's film "Memories of Murder", which has a Douban score of 8.8, is based on a series of serial murders that occurred in a small town in South Korea from the 1980s to the early 1990s. This evening (18), South Korean media SBS News reported that based on DNA comparison, the murderer of this vicious and perverted murder case that shocked the world may have been found!

After the police arrested the suspect, they recently used new technology to conduct DNA comparison (the old technology could not confirm the identity). The DNA of the suspect currently under arrest and in custody is consistent with that of two of the 10 female murder cases , and the identity of the suspect has basically been confirmed.

The prototype of "Memories of Murder" is the Hwaseong serial murder case in South Korea:

Between 1986 and 1991, 10 women were killed in Taean Town, Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The murderer was never caught, and the case eventually became an unsolved murder case. On September 19, 1986, a 71-year-old man was found strangled to death with his pants slipped down in Anningli, Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi Province. From then on, the serial murders began.

There were two murders in 1986, three in 1987, two in 1988, and one each in 1990 and 1991. There is no fixed pattern in these 10 cases, and most of the women were raped and then killed. The first stage play "Come and See Me" directed by Kim Kwang-rim in 1996 was made into a stage play, and based on the actual investigation data and interview records, it was officially filmed into "Memories of Murder" in 2003. In 2014, the incident was used as a reference prototype for the TV series "Cape Tongyi", and the nickname of the suspect at the time, "Cape Tongyi" (transliteration, Korean 갑동이) was used as the title of the play.
