A 12-year-old girl, kidnapped from her home two weeks ago, was found dead yesterday in her own neighborhood, Daegu Police said yesterday.
Police officials found the body of Hur Eun-jeong at around 5 p.m. yesterday in a valley about two kilometers from her home, the Dalseong Police Precinct of Daegu said. The body was naked and severely decomposed.
The Korea Times broke the story in English last week, saying that police were asking for citizen help in finding those who took the girl from her grandfather's house. However, the KT made no mention of where this all was taking place. The Galbijim blog has a little more information today.
This has been an unpleasantly busy year for crimes against children, or at least a year full of well-publicized crimes against kids. In December two girls, aged 10 and 8, went missing in Anyang and were subsequently molested and murdered by a man who has since confessed to other killings. In Janauary we learned about a daycare center in Seoul that was forcing children to stand outside naked as punishment for misbehavior. In March there was a brutal beating and attempted kidnapping caught on tape.
