Newtalk新聞 南韓日前發生一起駭人聽聞的殺人事件,居住在首爾的男子在短短 3 小時 20 分鐘內,對同居女友施暴多達 514 次,導致女友不幸身亡。南韓警方調查後發現,涉事男子與女友共同建立了一個名為「杜麗國」的虛擬國家,並制定一系列控制、懲罰女方的規則,誇張的內容也引發輿論的熱議。 根據南韓《每日經濟新聞》報導,《韓國首爾放送》( SBS )於 24 日播出節目「我想知道真相」,揭露一起發生在首爾的殺人事件。該報導指出, 6 月 20 日下午 2 點 24 分,首爾警方接獲報警電話,全姓男子聲稱自己的女友、 28 歲的上班族林女已失去意識。在救援人員趕到位於首爾江西區半地下室的住宅時,林女的心跳早已停止,警方也隨即針對這起事件展開調查。 報導稱,在對林女進行驗屍後,法醫發現林女 21 根肋骨骨折、主要臟器破裂。隨後,警方又調閱全男家中的監視影像,發現全男在當日曾向林女施暴多達 514 次,整個施暴過程僅只有 3 小時 20 分鐘。在針對林女的手機進行調查後,警方發現「國民製作人」、「國家項目」等不明詞彙頻繁出現,直到進行更深入的調查並對全男進行審問後,才釐清相關詞彙所代表的含意。 …
