A man in his 40s suspected of murdering a woman in her 40s in Daejeon has been apprehended by police after fleeing.

The Daejeon Provincial Police Agency announced that it urgently arrested a man in his 40s, identified as A, on charges including murder in the Gangneung, Gangwon Province area this morning (October 25).

A is suspected of murdering a woman in her 40s, identified as B, at an apartment building in Jung-gu, Daejeon, around 2:00 PM yesterday and fleeing the scene.

According to police investigations, it was found that A had a past record of stalking B.

Last October, police received a report from B indicating that she was being stalked by A, and took measures such as providing her with a smart watch.

However, police stated that B later expressed her wish not to have A punished and returned the smart watch.

Police, who were dispatched yesterday following a report from the family, tracked down and apprehended A.

Police plan to investigate the exact motive behind the crime and apply for an arrest warrant for A.
