▲ The 20s man who murdered his mother-in-law in Songpa
An internal inspection has been launched into the police handling of domestic violence allegations against a man in his 20s who murdered his mother-in-law and kidnapped his wife.
The Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency announced today that it launched an inspection yesterday (October 12) into the Suwon Gwonseon Police Station, which had been investigating the domestic violence charges against the suspect, surnamed Kim.
After receiving the case transferred from the Yongsan Police Station last August, the Suwon Gwonseon Police Station attempted to execute search and warrants at Kim's workplace and residence about three times, but all attempts fell through.
It was also revealed that the police reapplied for temporary measures, such as restraining orders, six days after the previous temporary measures had expired.
The police stated, "Judging that the matter is grave, we have launched a formal investigation," adding, "We will comprehensively examine whether the investigation was conducted properly throughout the domestic violence investigation process, including victim protection measures."
