South Korean Woman Charged With Murder After ChatGPT Queries Linked to Two Motel Deaths

Investigators point to lethal-mixing queries in her chat history as evidence of intent.

Overview

  • Police say the 21-year-old, arrested on February 11, is now charged with murder after an initial lesser charge was upgraded during the inquiry.
  • Two men in their twenties were found dead in Seoul motels on January 28 and February 9 after ingesting alcohol mixed with benzodiazepine-class sedatives.
  • Investigators report finding repeated ChatGPT questions on her phone about combining sleeping pills with alcohol, dangerous dosages, and potential lethality.
  • Authorities say she attempted a similar poisoning in December 2025 against an ex-partner who survived, then allegedly increased doses in the later cases.
  • The suspect acknowledges supplying the drugged drinks but denies intending to kill, while police legally reviewed her digital records and are checking for additional victims.
