description: "Yoo Young-chul, also known as the Raincoat Killer or Raincoat Man, is a South Korean serial killer, sex offender, and self-confessed cannibal. After he admitted to the murders of multiple people, mostly prostitutes and wealthy old couples, the Seoul Central District Court convicted him of 20 murders, although one case was dismissed when it turned out that the crime had been committed by another serial killer, Jeong Nam-gyu. Yoo burned three and mutilated at least 11 of his victims and admitted that he ate the livers of some of his victims. He committed his crimes between September 2003 and 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.\""
