Woman Killed by Ex-Boyfriend Despite Restraining Order

Police have launched an investigation after a man murdered his former girlfriend, despite being under a restraining order.
According to the Gyeonggi Seongnam Jungwon Police Station, a man in his 50s, identified as A, attacked a woman in her 60s, identified as B, with a weapon on a street in Sangdaewon-dong, Jungwon-gu, Seongnam, at approximately 3:00 a.m. today (July 5).
A attempted to harm himself immediately after the crime and is currently undergoing surgery at a hospital.
It is reported that A waited for B to leave work to commit the crime. The two had been in a relationship for about four years until recently.
It was discovered that early last month, B reported to the police that her ex-boyfriend was harassing her and requested protection.
In response, the police issued a warning to A regarding dating violence and advised B to file a formal stalking complaint against him.
Two days later, after B filed the complaint, the police issued a restraining order against A, prohibiting him from approaching or contacting B, and provided B with a smart watch for emergency alerts.
According to the police, B used the smart watch to report the attack when A confronted her. Police arrived at the scene within three minutes and transported B to a hospital, but she ultimately passed away.
The police plan to investigate the exact circumstances of the crime once A recovers.
