The Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency announced today (July 13) that it will offer a reward for any information leading to a breakthrough in the murder of a woman in her 60s in Tongyeong, which occurred last month.
The police added that they could provide a reward of up to 100 million won in accordance with the Regulations on Rewards for Contributors to Criminal Apprehension (National Police Agency Notification).
On June 10 at 6:34 a.m., the victim, a woman in her 60s identified as A, was found murdered by her family at her home in Dosan-myeon, Tongyeong.
Police confirmed through CCTV footage that the suspect broke into the victim's home at approximately 2:00 a.m. on the same day. However, identifying the suspect has proven difficult as the individual in the footage was wearing a hat, a mask, and gloves.
It was also reported that because the crime took place at night, it has been difficult to secure clues to identify the suspect from CCTV cameras located outside the house.
The police have conducted investigations, including questioning people around A and analyzing CCTV footage from near the house, and have formed a dedicated task force to pursue the suspect. However, they have not found any significant leads more than a month after the incident.
Furthermore, although they have been tracking the case from various angles after obtaining the necessary warrants, it is known that they have not yet been able to identify a suspect.
Given the circumstances, there are suggestions that the case should be converted into a public investigation.
