It has been confirmed that three more victims have been identified in the 'Gangbuk Motel Serial Murder' case in addition to the male victims previously identified.
On the 16th, an official from the National Office of Investigation announced during a press briefing at the Korean National Police Agency HQ in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, saying, "We have additionally booked (Kim Soyoung) on charges of injuring three newly identified victims."
The official added, "According to forensic results from the National Forensic Service, the same type of psychotropic drug found in previous victims was detected in the hair of one of these newly identified victims."
For the remaining two victims, results for one are still pending, while no drugs were detected in the other. Police believe this may be because a long time had passed since the crime.
The investigation revealed that the three newly identified victims were found to have received and consumed drinks containing drugs by Kim Soyoung between October last year and January this year in areas including Seocho-gu and Gangbuk-gu, Seoul.
With these new findings, the total number of men targeted by Kim Soyoung has risen to six, including two deaths and one injury.
Kim Soyoung was sent to trial on charges for allegedly giving intoxicated men drinks containing benzodiazepine-class drugs between December last year and the 8th of last month, causing two deaths and injuring one person.
She was initially arrested on charges including bodily injury resulting in death, but investigators later discovered that Kim Soyoung had asked AI questions such as, "Can someone die if they take sleeping pills after drinking alcohol?" Furthermore, it was also reported that she reportedly confessed during the investigation, saying, "I was aware that taking medication while drinking alcohol is dangerous," unlike her previous statement.
As a result, Kim Soyoung was referred to the prosecutors on charges of murder. The prosecutors determined her actions to be a premeditated crime with no clear motive and indicted her under detention.
The first trial for Kim Soyoung is scheduled to be held at the Seoul Northern District Court on the 9th of next month at 3.30 PM (KST).
Meanwhile, the prosecution recently held a Disclosure Committee and released Kim Soyoung's name, face, and age, which the police hadn't previously disclosed.
A police official explained that they hadn't disclosed her identity earlier because "the suspect was denying the charges and the detention investigation period was only ten days, making it difficult to determine that the legal requirements of the Act on Suspect Information Disclosure were met."

-Is she out of her mind?? She committed all these crimes in such a short period of time???
-If she hadn't been caught, she probably would've gone around killing people one after another. But what one earth is her reason??
-It's such a lief tat she was caught quickly. If the investigation had been delayed, who knows how many more people might've died.
-I mean... Why did she do that? What did they do that she tried to kill them all? It's truly a relief that she was caught quickly.
-She's definitely a psychopath. If she hadn't been caught, she would've truly become a serial killer.
-Is she a psychopath?
-Whoa... I hope she stays in prison for the rest of her life.
-Was her goal just to kill people?? That is scaryㄷㄷ
-Is it possible that there are actually more victims, but they couldn't be reached because they're already dead...?;;;;;;
-Killing six people at the age of 20.......
