Five adults and a juvenile have been charged with murder after a 70-pound woman — who had been beaten and malnourished for weeks — was discovered dead in the trunk of a vehicle this week, police in Georgia said Thursday.

The victim, who was not publicly identified, is from South Korea and came to the U.S. this summer to join a religious group, the Gwinnett County Police Department said in a statement. “The accused individuals referred to themselves as belonging to ‘Soldiers of Christ,’” police said.

Arrest warrants indicate that the woman had been starved and beaten for weeks. Police believe the starvation began Aug. 3; it was not immediately clear when she died.
