According to the CCTV footage, about three hours earlier, around 2:45 AM, a man in his 30s approached the woman and wielded a weapon.

Her body was discovered on the fourth basement level of the parking structure.

The police believe that the man may have planned the crime in advance, as he had prepared a weapon and a getaway vehicle.

It is reported that the victim and the suspect had a prior relationship of store owner and customer.

Additionally, it has been confirmed that the victim had reported the suspect for sexual offenses on two occasions in the past.

The man fled the scene in a rental car he had borrowed earlier and abandoned the vehicle at a middle school in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province before disappearing.

The police are continuing their pursuit of the man while also requesting an autopsy from the National Forensic Service to determine the exact cause of death of the victim.
