A suspect accused of killing two men in a series of attacks at a Seoul motel made a large food delivery order shortly after drugging one of the victims and later took the food home, according to police and investigative records.
Kim, a woman in her 20s identified only by her surname, is accused of administering beverages containing a benzodiazepine-based sedative to three men between December and February. Two of the victims died and another survived with injuries.
Interviews and investigative records reviewed by the Hankook Ilbo show that the suspect ordered 22 food items delivered immediately after the second killing. She briefly left the crime scene with food, leading police to suspect that one of her motives for luring men into the motel had been obtaining food.
According to order records from a local fried chicken restaurant, a large delivery order was placed at 9:23 p.m. on Feb. 9.
The order, totaling 22 items, included two fried chickens in four flavors along with chewy rice cakes, cheese balls, cheese sticks, spicy simmered rice cakes, rice, fries, bottles of cola and extra sauces. The total came to 131,800 won ($90).
The delivery fee was 4,100 won. The order was paid for with a credit card.

“It was strange,” said the delivery driver, who spoke to the Hankook Ilbo. He said he initially wondered whether the address was wrong because the amount of food seemed excessive for a motel room.
“I remember it very clearly because I received a bonus for the large order,” he added.
