It has been revealed that a woman in her 70s who was murdered by her former romantic partner right after his electronic ankle monitor tracking ended was managed as a high-risk victim of relationship-based crime by the police.
Police stated that the woman in her 70s, who was murdered by her ex-partner at a multi-family housing unit in Bulgwang-dong, Seoul, at around 6:00 a.m. today, was a designated Grade A subject under relationship crime monitoring.
Grade A managed subjects are relationship crime victims who have three or more 112 emergency calls and case reports, for whom police check safety by contacting them once a month.
Previously in July, the deceased victim in her in her 70s reported the suspect, a man in his 60 named A, to the police. It was revealed that while the police applied for an arrest warrant for suspect A on charges including violations of the Stalking Punishment Act, a prosecutor dismissed the request.
In response, the police stated that they applied for provisional measures allowing detention in a detention center and the attachment of an electronic tracking device, holding suspect A in a detention center for about a month from late July, and keeping the electronic device attached until October 22 after his release.
Suspect A reportedly went to find his former partner and committed the crime as soon as the electronic ankle monitor wearing period ended, and suspect A is also known to have suffered serious injuries after attempting self-harm immediately following the crime.
The police, who conducted a comprehensive inspection of relationship-based crimes for 12 days from October 19 to 30, previously stated that they classified 5,068 cases, or about 32% of the 15,840 cases under investigation, as high risk, and applied for 376 arrest warrants, 506 detentions and other measures, and 321 electronic device attachments respectively.
