 introduction
* Yoo Young-chul was born 18 April in 1970, in South Korea. His parents separated quickly soon after his
birth and Yoo was raised along with his siblings by his grandmother for few years. 

* Yoo's parents were blue collar workers who often had money problems. This poverty was one of the
reasons he was made fun of in class, which planted in him a resentment towards the wealthy. It was in school
where he also found an interest in the arts. He played guitar, sang, painted, and read poetry through
elementary school, finding himself with arts so much that he applied to a high school that specialized in
them. He was denied admission though and enrolled in a technical school.

* During his high school years, he began his life of crime and spent time in juvenile detention for thievery.
He continued stealing into his adulthood, from cash and cameras to cars. He spent time in and out of jail
throughout the 90s as a way to provide for his young family.
• Yoo-Young-chul (raincoat killer) After he admitted to the murders of
multiple people, mostly sex workers and wealthy old men, the Seoul Central
District Court convicted him of 20 murders, although one case was dismissed
when it was identified as being committed by another serial killer, Jeong He
committed his crimes between September 2003 to July 2004, and was
apprehended on 15 July 2004. Yoo explained his motives in front of a TV camera
saying "Women shouldn't be sluts, and the rich should know what they've done.
Yoo was married in 1992 and had one son. Yoo was previously convicted 14
times and served a total of seven years in prison to his string of murders
 Victim pool
• Yoo Young-Chul’s first murder victims were retired university professor Lee Deok-Su (72) and his wife
Lee Eun-Ok (67) on September 24, 2003. He had broken into their home. Two weeks later, on October 9,
he followed this same process to eliminate Kang Eun-Sun (85), Lee Sook-Jin (60), and Go Jin-Soo (35)
— the entire family of entrepreneur Ko Jung-Won. On October 16, Yoo further killed Yoo Joon-Hee (60),
and a month later, on November 18, he brought his hammer down on Kim Jong-Seok (87) and their
trusted housekeeper, Bae Ji-Hye (53).
 motive
• Yoo explained his motives in front of a TV camera saying
"Women shouldn't be sluts, and the rich should know what
they've done.
 Serial murders

• From September to November 2003, Yoo killed several wealthy senior citizens by breaking into their
houses. To cover his tracks, Yoo made the scenes of his crime look like a robbery took place. However,
no money was taken, which confused the police investigators. Yoo switched to targeting female
masseuses. In January 2004,Yoo was briefly arrested on a minor theft charge, but was released two days
later.
• Starting in March 2004, Yoo called sex workers to his residence in western Seoul and bludgeoned them
after having sex with them. They were buried in the mountains surrounding the city. Police recovered 11
bodies from the mountain behind Bongwon Temple after Yoo's arrest.
• 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.
 Arrest for murder
• Yoo was taken into custody on 15 July 2004 and confessed to
murdering as many as 19 people initially, specifically targeting
affluent senior citizens and masseuses .Yoo had raised
suspicions by calling a massage parlor where several employees
had recently gone missing after receiving similar phone calls, so
the owner of the massage parlor, accompanied by several
employees and a single police officer, went to the agreed-upon
meeting place. The police officer left before Yoo arrived, and
Yoo was apprehended by the employees of the massage parlor.
Another police officer placed handcuffs on Yoo after he was
detained by the massage parlor employees.
