Suspect in Laced Drink Murders Linked to Three More Victims

Seoul: Police said Monday they have identified three more victims of a 20-year-old woman who was recently arrested on suspicion of murdering two men with laced drinks. Kim So-young is accused of causing bodily injury to three additional men beyond the victims investigators had initially identified, a police official told reporters.

According to Yonhap News Agency, prosecutors earlier indicted Kim on murder and other charges for giving drinks spiked with benzodiazepine, a depressant, to three men between last December and last month. Two of these victims died, while one managed to recover from the incident.

Further investigation revealed that Kim administered laced drinks to three more victims on separate occasions in Seoul between last October and January of this year. A forensic analysis determined that one of these newly identified victims had benzodiazepine in his system at the time.

Authorities disclosed that Kim met the threshold for psychopathy in a police-administered test. Her trial is scheduled to begin on April 9, where she will face charges related to these incidents.
