Yoo Young-chul Biography
Yoo Young-chul is one of the most popular and richest Criminal who was born on April 18, 1970 in Gochang County, South Korea. Yoo Young-chul (yuyeongceol), a South Korean serial killer who was born 18 April 1970, is a self-confessed cannibal and self-confessed cannibal. The Seoul Central District Court found him guilty of murdering 20 people (mostly prostitutes and old men) but dismissed one case because it was committed by Jeong Nam-gyu, another serial killer. Yoo burned at least three victims and mutilated 11 others, while admitting that he ate some of their livers. Between September 2003 and July 2004, he committed the crimes, which he was then arrested. Yoo explained his motives to a television camera, saying that “Women shouldn’t be sluts and the rich should understand what they’ve done.”
Yoo, who was in custody, feigned epileptic symptoms while being detained and managed to escape from police officers after his restraints were removed. Twelve hours later, however, he was arrested again. Yoo tried to flee after being arrested for rape in 2002. He faffed an epileptic seizure.
Prosecutors requested the death penalty, which Yoo thanked them for, and Yoo was sentenced to death on 13 December 2004 for 20 counts of murder (the count of murder for the woman in Imun-dong in February 2004 was thrown out). Prosecutors appealed the verdict to secure the 21st count of murder, but the lower court’s sentence was upheld on 8 June 2005 by the Supreme Court.
Police admitted they had little physical evidence linking Yoo to the murders. Yoo first appeared in court on 6 September 2004, refusing to defend himself, declaring his intention to boycott the remainder of the trial, and apologizing to the victims. Yoo boasted that he had no intention of stopping. When he was forced to return two weeks later, he lunged at the three presiding judges and recanted his confession for the February 2004 Imun-dong murder. He refused to appear at the next court session on 4 October 2004, after attempting suicide the night before. Yoo again disrupted a hearing three weeks later when he tried to attack a spectator who had cursed him, which ended with Yoo signing a statement that he would not cause further commotion.
According to the contents of Yoo’s apartment that was searched after his arrest, it is possible that he copied several movies such as Public Enemy, Very Bad Things and Normal Life for his murders. Yoo later admitted to having been inspired by Jeong Du-yeong the serial killer who had killed nine wealthy Busan residents between 1999 and 2000.

Yoo was married in 1992, and they had one child. Yoo was previously convicted on 14 different charges. He spent seven years in prison before committing his series of murders.
The South Koreans were appalled by his case and it has fuelled the debate about capital punishment in South Korea. The death penalty is still allowed by law but has not been used since 1997. Although it appeared that capital punishment would be eliminated prior to Yoo’s arrest, support for the death penalty has increased since Yoo’s crimes were revealed.
From September to November 2003, Yoo killed several wealthy senior citizens, breaking into their houses and bludgeoning them with a hammer. In each case, Yoo left the appearance of a robbery-homicide, although no money was taken, which confused the police investigators. When the investigation started to intensify, Yoo switched to targeting female masseuses. Yoo was briefly arrested in January 2004, on a minor theft charge but released two days later.

During initial interrogations, Yoo confessed to killing 19 people. On July 18, 2004, he admitted to an additional murder: the killing of a 44-year-old male street vendor. Yoo eventually confessed to killing 26 individuals on July 19, 2004, several days after his arrest, although no details were given. The list of purported victims included several individuals that did not match his prior pattern of wealthy seniors or masseuses. Friends of two of the masseuse victims, whose bodies had been recovered, claimed they were not involved in massage therapy, meaning that Yoo could have other, unreported victims. Although the “Rainy Thursday” murderer was active contemporaneously starting in April 2004, stabbing multiple women late at night in southwest Seoul, police were unable to link Yoo to those murders.
Starting in March 2004, Yoo called prostitutes to his residence in western Seoul and bludgeoned them after having sex with them. His prostitute victims were dismembered and mutilated to hinder their identification. They were buried in the mountains surrounding the city. Police recovered 11 bodies from the mountain behind Bongwon Temple after Yoo’s arrest.
