A seventh person has been arrested on murder charges in the death of a South Korean woman whose body was found decaying in a car trunk in suburban Atlanta.

Police arrested Mihee Lee, 54, on Wednesday. She’s the mother of three others already accused of murder in the death of 33-year-old Sehee Cho, Gwinnett County police said.

Investigators believe Cho traveled to the United States from South Korea in July to join a religious organization, known as Soldiers of Christ. The suspects referred to themselves as members of the group, investigators said.
