Police Launch Inspection Into Investigation of 20-Man Who Murdered Mother-in-Law and Kidnapped Wife in Songpa

An official inspection has been launched into the police handling of domestic violence allegations against a 20-something man who murdered his mother-in-law and kidnapped his wife.

The Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency announced today that it launched an inspection yesterday (October 12) into the Suwon Gwonseon Police Station, which had been handling the domestic violence investigation regarding the suspect, surnamed Kim.

After receiving the case transferred from the Yongsan Police Station last August, the Suwon Gwonseon Police Station attempted to execute search and warrants at Kim's workplace and residence about three times, but all attempts fell through.

It was also revealed that the police reapplied for temporary measures, such as a restraining order, six days after the previous temporary measures had expired.

Police stated, "Judging that the matter is serious, we have initiated a formal investigation," adding, "We will comprehensively examine whether the investigation into the domestic violence was conducted appropriately and review overall measures for victim protection."
