Exclusive: Police Team Leader Ordered Deletion of Crime Scene Video in Jang Yoon-gi Case

An SBS investigation has confirmed that a police team leader in charge of the investigation into Jang Yoon-gi, the perpetrator of the Gwangju high school girl murder case, ordered the deletion of a video recorded during the search of Jang's vehicle used in the crime.
Following SBS reports that raised suspicions of evidence tampering by Jang's father—a serving police officer—as well as allegations of lenient investigation and collusion by the police, it was found that Inspector A, the team leader at Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station in charge of the case, recently ordered the officer who filmed the crime scene reconstruction of the vehicle to delete the footage.
The video reportedly captured a cable tie, a key piece of physical evidence related to the circumstances of Jang's intent to kidnap.
The Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency's dedicated investigation team arrested Inspector A in an emergency operation around 7:00 a.m. today (July 6) after confirming some of these circumstances regarding the destruction of evidence.
