Lee Chun Jae committed 14 homicides and 9 rapes in an abusive serial crime to eliminate desire.
According to South Korean media reports, it took a year for South Korean police to end a re-investigation into South Korea's largest long-outstanding case, the Lee Chun-jae serial murder case in the Hwaseong area of Gyeonggi Province. This is 34 years after the first case of the serial killing. Police said Mr. Lee had committed 23 cases, but it was difficult to impose penalties that had expired.
On July 2, 2020, the Investigation Headquarters of the Southern Gyeonggi Local Police Department in South Korea published the comprehensive investigation results of the Lee Chun-jae serial murder case. Police said Mr. Lee, who committed 14 homicides and nine rapes, was planned to be transferred to prosecutors in order to eliminate the abusive serial crime of desire.

Of these, the 8th case was slightly different from the others and was found to be an imitation offence. South Korean police cracked and arrested the murderer Yin that year.
However, Lee Chun-jae, who was identified as a suspect in the serial killings, admitted 14 killings, including 10, and more than 30 sexual crimes, including the eighth. Yin, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the case at the time, said that he made a false statement under the compulsory investigation of the police.
