The victim was a woman in her 20s or 30s and weighed approximately 32 kilograms, police said after discovering the body in the trunk of a car.
Six people who identified themselves as members of a religious group called the 'Soldiers of Christ' have been arrested in connection to the death of a South Korean woman who was beaten and starved in Georgia, authorities said.
The woman is thought to have been subjected to beatings and malnourishment for weeks, the department said. Detectives believe the woman moved to the United States from South Korea during the summer of this year "for the purpose of joining a religious organisation," the agency said. Authorities then conducted a search of a home associated with the vehicle where they allege the woman's body was found.
One of the arrested individuals is a 15-year-old, police said. CNN is not naming the juvenile who has been charged as an adult.
