Yang Kwang-joon is charged with arrest for "abandoning the body after killing a fellow military officer."

Yang Kwang-joon, a 38-year-old active-duty army officer who damaged and abandoned his body after killing a fellow female military officer, has been put on trial in custody.

The Chuncheon District Prosecutors' Office arrested and charged Yang with murder, body damage, and body concealment.

Yang, who is scheduled to be promoted to lieutenant colonel from the Korea Military Academy, is accused of killing a 33-year-old civilian A who worked with him while working in the same unit on the 25th of last month, damaging the body, and abandoning it.

The investigation found that Yang killed the victim while dating A to prevent his relationship with A from being revealed and dumped the body around the Bukhangang River.

In particular, it was confirmed that he used the victim's mobile phone to contact his acquaintances to hide the crime and pretended as if the victim was still alive.

Earlier, the police held a review committee on the disclosure of personal information and released personal information such as Yang's name and photo on the 13th.
