▲ A man in his 40s, accused of murdering a woman who had previously reported him for stalking, leaves the detention center of the Daejeon Dongbu Police Station on October 27 to attend a pre-arrest interrogation ( warrant substantive examination ).
Police have decided not to disclose the personal identity of a man in his 40s who murdered his ex-girlfriend in Daejeon after she had reported him for stalking.
The Daejeon Metropolitan Police Agency announced that it has decided not to hold a personal information disclosure deliberation committee for the man in his 40s, identified as A, who was arrested on murder charges.
Police made the decision taking into consideration that the bereaved family does not want his identity disclosed and that exposing the suspect's identity could lead to secondary harm to the victim and her family.
Suspect A is accused of assaulting and strangling a woman in her 40s, identified as B, to death on October 24 at a multi-family housing unit in Jung-gu, Daejeon.
Immediately after the crime, suspect A fled to Incheon International Airport and Gangneung, Gangwon Province, before being arrested by police at a lodgings business 19 hours after the crime.
During police questioning, suspect A stated, "I committed the crime impulsively while arguing," but police are conducting a forensic analysis of his mobile phone and deploying profilers to investigate whether it was a premeditated crime and to determine the exact motive.
