   Episode 2: The Crimes of Jeong Nam Gyu

   In this episode, Kait talks about the crimes of Jeong Nam Gyu, a serial killer that killed 14 people in 2004-2006. Some of his crimes were mistakenly thought to be those of Yoo Young Chul. Jeong stabbed women who were walking alone at night and also broke into houses, sometimes setting them on fire. He has had approximately 20 failed attempts. He is considered Korea's most psychotic killer because his motive for murder was for pleasure. He is sometimes referred to as the Pleasure Murderer. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/koryo-crime/message
