The police investigating allegations of investigative irregularities involving Jang Yoon-ki have been confirmed to have summoned and questioned the former chief of the Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station, who directed the initial investigation, for a second time.

According to SBS reporting, the special investigation team of the National Police Agency summoned former Gwangsan Police Station Chief Senior Superintendent Kim as a suspect yesterday (August 24).

Senior Superintendent Kim is suspected of exercising undue influence during the process of applying charges of simple murder instead of murder with intent to rape against Jang Yoon-ki, the perpetrator of the Gwangju high school girl murder case.

During yesterday's intense interrogation lasting about 11 hours, Senior Superintendent Kim reportedly maintained his previous stance and denied the allegations, stating that there were no wrongful orders.
