BJ Ah Yeong visited Cambodia with a friend on June 2, and two days later, her body was discovered wrapped in a red cloth in a pond in a village near Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.

According to the French media AFP (Agence France Presse), on June 14 (local time), Cambodian prosecutors indicted the Chinese couple, Lai Wenshao, 30, and Cai Huijuan, 39, on charges of murdering BJ Ah Yeong. The couple was arrested after their fingerprints on the cloth the victim was wrapped in verified their identities.

The couple testified to police that BJ Ah Yeong was receiving treatment at their hospital on June 4 but suddenly had a seizure and died, so they abandoned her body.

The prosecutors stated that the crime charge for the couple was “homicide accompanied by torture.” If found guilty, the couple could face life sentences. The specific details regarding the torture charges have not been disclosed.

The cause of BJ Ah Yeong’s death has also not yet been determined.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea announced on June 13 that the Cambodian authorities are investigating the case and providing necessary support to her family.

A Cambodian court has charged two Chinese nationals with the torture and murder of a South Korean social media influencer whose body was found on the outskirts of Phnom Penh earlier this month.

Byun Ah-yeong, also known as BJ Ahyeong, was an influencer for popular South Korean streaming service AfreecaTV, and that she had more than 250,000 Instagram followers, Agence France-Presse reported. Media reports say she was 33.

Two Chinese, Lai Wenshao, 30, and Cai Huijuan, 39 were charged with murder, court spokesman Plang Sophal told local media.

Lai and Cai testified that Byun had gone into seizures and died while receiving treatment at their clinic on June 4, and they had abandoned her body, AFP said, citing a police report.

If they are convicted, they could face life in prison.

Lai and Cai’s clinic had been operating without a license, Sok Sambath, the governor of Phnom Penh’s Boeung Keng Kang district, told RFA’s Khmer Service.

"We shut the clinic down," he said, but declined to answer questions inquiring as to how they could have been allowed to open without a license, only saying that they had started before he took office.

Police Chief Sar Thet told RFA that according to the police investigation, “the couple injected [something] into a South Korean lady and she died.”

The incident may have happened because of improperly administered anesthesia, Quach Mengly, a Cambodian physician, told RFA.

Previously, Koreans were shocked to learn that a popular livestreamer was found dead in Cambodia. Police have since booked a Chinese couple who ran a local hospital for the death.

Unanswered Questions‘ investigative journalists met with the person who first found the livestreamer’s body, as well as the police. In the episode, the witnesses claimed that the streamer’s neck seemed to have been struck with something and that the police then used a scissor to cut the clothes off the body to investigate. The witnesses further revealed that there was a needle mark near the victim’s pelvis.

The show also interviewed BJ Ah Yeong acquaintance, who denied several unfounded allegations surrounding the livestreamer’s life.

After her death, there were rumors of sponsors, drugs, and her involvement in the Burning Sun incident, but she wasn’t like that. She was so shy that she couldn’t even ask for refunds.

The acquaintance also revealed text messages between them and the victim. In the messages, the livestreamer states that she wanted to quit livestreaming and that she was in Cambodia due to a stalker.

Acquaintance: “What are you going to do if you quit streaming?
Ah Yeong: “I am currently overseas due to a stalker. Once I return to Korea, I plan on spending time for myself.”

The acquaintance also offers a possible motive for the crime.

Because she was a livestreamer, (the murderer) would have thought she had a lot of money. I suspect she was killed over money.

The show’s producers then spoke with an acquaintance of the suspected couple, who alleged that the livestreamer had come into the hospital already high on drugs.

She was already high on drugs. The doctor couple merely gave her a shot to calm her breathing after seeing she was hyperventilating.

When the producers asked the acquaintance if the hospital owners were licensed doctors, the acquainted stated that “The woman comes from a family of doctors, but the husband is not.” The show then revealed that the woman was not a licensed doctor.

The producers then met with the husband of the suspected couple. During the interview, the husband stated his wife was away when the livestreamer died and that it was he who hid the body.

My wife was taking care of the baby, so she didn’t know what had happened. I hid the body. And I didn’t give her (victim) a shot. I merely gave her medicine commonly used in China after she complained of dizziness.

CCTV, however, would contradict the husband’s claims that his wife was taking care of their baby. Footage showed that it was the baby’s grandmother who was taking care of the couple’s baby and that both were inside the hospital at the time of the victim’s death. CCTV footage also showed a van transporting what seemed to be the victim’s body four days after the livestreamer first entered the hospital

Lastly, the producers met with the detective in charge of the investigation, who revealed a startling fact.

The body had no signs of assault, and a drug test came back negative. When the body was found, the victim was not wearing a bra, and her underwear was put on backward.

When producers asked the husband if he had sexually assaulted the livestreamer, the husband denied anything criminal took place. Meanwhile, locals claimed that “There is a strong Chinese influence in Cambodia. I don’t think they (the couple) are going to be charged with severe crimes like we think. Instead, I think they will be only tried for hiding the body.”

Stay tuned for updates.
