A 38-year-old Canadian expatriate returned to Korea and confessed last Saturday to the murder of his Korean ex-girlfriend in 2009 after failing to reprieve his guilt through religious penance. The former North Jeolla province university instructor drowned the 21-year-old in Seoul's Han River March 23rd 2009 and left for Canada two days later after telling the police she had drowned while trying to retrieve a tennis ball. He now claims he suffered paranoia that she planned to kill him after she refused to marry him and religious differences, though they had only been dating for two months at the time.
