The authorities arrested the suspect, a Chinese national allegedly connected to online scam operations in Cambodia, in Phnom Penh on Thursday, on murder and other charges. The suspect is accused of torturing and murdering the 22-year-old student, surnamed Park, near Bokor Mountain, an area known for frequent employment scams and kidnapping targeting South Koreans. Lee was reportedly dining out at a restaurant in the capital when the police apprehended him.
-----------------
Park left for Cambodia in the middle of July, telling his family that he was attending an exhibition there. With signs of torture on his body, Park was found dead inside a car in August, according to local police. Last month, three Chinese nationals suspected of involvement in his death were formally charged and detained in custody by a Cambodian court on multiple counts, including murder and fraud.
-----------------
The Korean Embassy in Cambodia stated that the local authorities had notified it of the latest arrest, and it plans to review whether the suspect can be transferred to South Korea. Meanwhile, the incident sparked widespread anger in South Korea, leading the government to send a delegation to Cambodia to create a joint task force to address online scams and other crimes targeting South Koreans.
