A woman who reported dating violence a year ago was murdered by the man she identified as the perpetrator (comprehensive)

(Daejeon = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim So-yeon = A woman who reported stalking to the police was murdered a year later by the man she identified as the perpetrator at the time.

Daejeon Central Police Station announced on the 25th that it was arresting and investigating Mr. A, a man in his 40s, on suspicion of murder (murder) of his former lover.

Person A is suspected of killing Person B, a woman in her 40s, in Jung-gu, Daejeon, at her home on the 24th and then running away.

The police, who began the investigation after receiving a report from the family who found Mr. B dead around 2 pm on the same day, caught Mr. A in Gangneung, Gangwon-do at around 7:40 am on this day, about 18 hours later.

It was discovered that Mr. B had previously reported to the police that he had been stalked by Mr. A.

On October 10 last year, Mr. B reported to 112 that Mr. A was stalking him through phone calls and text messages.

Accordingly, the police issued Emergency Emergency Measures No. 1 and 2 to Mr. A, restricting access, phone calls, and text messages, and provided Mr. B with a smart watch that can be used for one month until November 9th.

However, on November 3, about 20 days later, Mr. B was found to have returned the smartwatch early after visiting the police station, making peace with Mr. A and expressing his intention not to be punished.

At the time, the police also deemed it difficult to view it as continuous and repetitive stalking and dismissed the case without charges.

Then, on December 27 of the same year, a 112 report was filed again during a fight between Mr. A and Mr. B, but the police concluded the incident on the spot after determining that there was no suspicion of crime.

At that time, the two people said to the police officer who was dispatched to the scene, "During a minor argument, the 112 call was pressed. I'm sorry," and the police explained that they only gave guidance because there was no damage.

However, 10 months later, Mr. B was murdered by Mr. A.

After committing the crime, Mr. A was found to have removed his cell phone SIM card and headed to Incheon Airport by taxi to avoid police pursuit.

Regarding whether Mr. A attempted to leave the country, the police explained, "It is a matter that is being investigated."

However, the police had banned him from leaving the country, and Mr. A's passport had expired, so he was not able to leave the country.

Mr. A then fled to Gangneung, Gangwon-do and was arrested at a lodging establishment.

Mr. A admitted to the crime while being transported from Gangneung to Daejeon, saying, “I was wrong.”

The police plan to investigate the details of the crime, including the motive for Mr. A, and apply for an arrest warrant.

Police added that they are currently consulting with relevant agencies to provide support to the victim's family.
