Another "dating murder" has occurred, in which a man tracked down and killed his former romantic partner. The incident took place in a residential area in Jung-gu, Daejeon, on the 24th, when a man in his 40s sought out his ex-girlfriend, murdered her, fled, and was later apprehended by the police. However, there were warning signs between them beforehand. Last year, the female victim reported the man for stalking, and in December, she called the police during an argument. Yet, stating that they had reconciled and she did not want him punished, the victim returned her smart watch early. Right before she died, the victim called her son instead of the police or emergency services (119). What made the victim act this way? Could there have been no way to prevent this horrific crime?
