Why It Matters
Kwon Jong-pil was reported to 112 for stalking by Mr. A in October last year, but the case was postponed in November of that year as Mr. A expressed that he did not want to be punished.

On the 9th, the Daejeon Police Agency released the name, age, and mug shot of Kwon Jong-pil (43), who was arrested and sent on charges including murder, on the Daejeon Police Agency website.
The disclosure period is from this day to the 9th of next month.
Previously, the police held a personal information disclosure deliberation committee on the 2nd of this month and decided to disclose Kwon Jong-pil's personal information.
The committee decided on disclosure after comprehensively considering the brutality of the crime, the seriousness of the damage, sufficient evidence, and the opinions of the bereaved family.
However, as Kwon Jong-pil expressed objection to the decision to disclose the information, the police released the information on this day after a grace period of more than 5 days in accordance with the Act on Disclosure of Personal Information of Suspects of Specific Serious Crimes (Serious Crime Information Disclosure Act).
The Daejeon Police Agency's release of the suspect's identity comes a year and three months after Jang Jae-won, who murdered his ex-lover in Goejeong-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon, in August last year.
Kwon Jong-pil is accused of assaulting and strangling A, a woman in her 40s in Daejeon, at her home on the 24th of last month and then running away.
After committing the crime, he removed the SIM card from his cell phone, took a taxi to Incheon Airport, and then fled to Gangneung. He was arrested at a lodging establishment in Gangneung the day after the crime.
In a police investigation, Kwon Jong-pil stated, "On the day of the incident, I entered the house with Mr. A's consent, went to deliver a gift to Mr. A's family, and committed the crime after an argument."
Kwon Jong-pil was reported to 112 for stalking by Mr. A in October last year, but the case was postponed in November of that year as Mr. A expressed that he did not want to be punished.
