Seoul: A key suspect in a job scam that led to a South Korean university student’s death in Cambodia was arrested Sunday. The suspect, in his 20s, is accused of being the primary figure who lured the victim, surnamed Park, into opening a bank account before arranging his travel to Cambodia. There, the victim was allegedly confined and murdered by a voice phishing crime ring.

According to Yonhap News Agency, earlier in the day, a pre-trial detention hearing was held at the Andong branch of the Daegu District Court, which later issued the arrest warrant, citing a flight risk. Police have been investigating those involved in the illegal account distribution ring since the arrest of a broker in early September. They have also been tracking the flow of funds in Park’s accounts and analyzing communication records.

Park was found dead in August in a car near Bokor Mountain in southern Kampot Province. An autopsy on his body is scheduled to be conducted jointly by South Korean and Cambodian authorities on Monday. The National Police Agency said seven people, including forensic doctors from the National Forensic Service, will leave for Cambodia around 6:50 p.m. for the joint autopsy.

Separately, 64 South Korean nationals who had been detained in Cambodia over alleged online scams arrived home early Saturday on a chartered flight. Most of them will face criminal probes as suspects, according to police. The large-scale repatriation came after Park’s death triggered public outrage in South Korea.
