I just bought several corydoras fake julii and have found two dead this morning with red markings on the body and not sure what is it.

Not an expert, but could it be "red blotch disease"? http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-health/ ... sease.aspx

Have you tested the water? Ammonia and nitrite in the water can cause these type of sores. How long did it take from the sores first appearing to the fish dying and were there any other symptoms such as lethargy heavy breathing ect?
