Gawon Lee (left), 26, and Hyunji Lee (right), 25, were among the five charged in connection to the dead body found in the trunk.


Lawrenceville residents Joonho Lee (left), 26, and Joonhyun Lee (right), 15, were also identified as suspects charged.


Police say Eric Hyun, 26, was the driver of the Jaguar Sedan the body had been found in.

Georgia authorities have arrested five adults and one teenager after a body was found in the trunk of a car outside a Korean spa in Gwinnett County.

Gwinnett County Police said a 911 caller reported a possible body inside a vehicle near the Jeju Sauna on Gwinnett Place Drive in unincorporated Duluth at around 10:50 p.m. Sept. 12.

When police arrived at the location, they did find a body of a female in the trunk of a silver Jaguar sedan.

On Thursday, the department identified the suspects as Lawrenceville residents Joonhyun Lee, 22; Joonho Lee, 26; Hyunji Lee, 25; Gawon Lee, 26; Junyeoug Lee, 15; and Suwanee resident Eric Hyun, 26.

All six are charged with felony murder, imprisonment, tampering with evidence and concealing a death.

During a news conference Thursday, Gwinnett police said the female victim was from South Korea and came to the Atlanta area this summer to join “Soldiers of Christ,” a religious organization the suspects claim to belong to.

Her identity has not been released as police have not yet contacted her family in South Korea.

quote:

Though her exact cause of death has not been determined, police said the Medical Examiner’s Office believes malnourishment could have been a factor.

Detectives believe the victim, whose body weighed approximately 70 pounds when it was found, was beaten repeatedly and starved while being held captive.


quote:

Hyun was picked up and taken to the hospital for unrelated injuries, police said.

While at the hospital, police said Hyun asked the family member to go get a personal item from the car for him.

When that family member got to the car, 911 was called to report what appeared to be a body in the trunk.

A search warrant was executed at a residence associated with Hyun on Stable Gate in unincorporated Lawrenceville.

At the home, detectives and crime scene investigators collected evidence that led them to believe the crime took place in the basement, police said.

Great. Now we have imported Korean Jack shacks that also double as murder cults.

I think I remember reading about a case similar to this from maybe like the 90s, but for the life of me I can't remember specifics to look it up and link it. It was one of those days I went down a Wiki rabbit hole of crimes.

Looks like Joonho had been hitting the bottle before they picked his arse up. Assuming they are all recent immigrants, they likely have no idea how fricked their world is about to be.
