Another Incident... "Address Exposed During Lawsuit Process"

It has been revealed that a man in his 20s, identified as A, who murdered his mother-in-law and kidnapped his wife in Songpa-gu, Seoul, approached the victim through postal mail.

The bereaved family of the victim stated last night that "the address was written on the mail delivered while the divorce lawsuit was underway."

They claimed, "It appears that A forwarded the address obtained through the mail to a private detective agency," adding, "This was a pre-planned crime."

Previously, it was reported that at the time of the crime on the 11th, A threatened his wife by saying, "I hired a private detective agency to watch you for two weeks," and "I was going to kill your whole family too."

The man had stopped reporting to his workplace as a social service agent starting three weeks before the crime.

In response, the police have secured the SD card from the black box of A's vehicle to review footage from before and after the crime, while also securing CCTV footage around the actual crime scene to investigate the possibility of a prior site inspection.

Furthermore, having identified circumstances indicating that A was in possession of a weapon prior to the crime, the police are leaning toward the possibility of a premeditated crime and applied for an arrest warrant for A yesterday afternoon on charges of parricide and special confinement.
