CORRECTS TO KILLING INSTEAD OF MURDER - In this July, 1993, photo, South Korean investigators examine the scene following a killing in Hwaseong, South Korea. South Korean police have found a man who could be an infamous serial killer wanted for the slaying of nine women some 30 years ago, officials said Thursday, Sept. 19, 2019, 13 years after the statute of limitations expired over the unresolved criminal cases.

Police said the man’s DNA matches samples taken from evidence collected from some of the crime scenes. Ban said the technological improvement of DNA analysis allowed authorities to extract DNA samples from evidence that wasn’t possible at the time of the cases. South Korean media, citing unidentified police and other officials, reported the suspect is a 56-year-old man who is serving a life sentence for raping and killing his sister-in-law in 1994.
