Police to Review Disclosure of Namyangju Stalking Murder Suspect’s Identity, Committee to Convene

The police have decided to review the disclosure of personal information regarding a man in his 40s who murdered a woman he had been stalking while wearing an electronic ankle monitor.

The Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency announced on March 17 that it has decided to convene a committee to review the disclosure of personal information for Mr. A, a man in his 40s who is facing charges including murder.

A police official stated, "The committee schedule will be determined by the progress of the investigation and the transfer schedule, and the results of the committee's deliberations will be made public." However, the details of the committee's deliberation schedule will not be disclosed.

Mr. A is suspected of murdering Ms. B, a woman in her 20s whom he had previously dated, on the morning of March 14 at 8:58 a.m. on a street in Onam-eup, Namyangju. Mr. A broke the window of the car in which Ms. B was sitting and committed the crime. He then cut off his electronic ankle monitor, fled in his own car, and was apprehended about an hour later in Yangpyeong County. At the time of his arrest, Mr. A had ingested an unidentified substance and has been receiving treatment at a hospital since immediately after his arrest.

Mr. A had been subject to temporary measures No. 2 and No. 3 under the Act on the Punishment of Domestic Violence and provisional measures No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 under the Anti-Stalking Act, which prohibited him from contacting Ms. B or approaching within 100 meters of her residence or workplace.

The Namyangju branch of the Uijeongbu District Court issued an arrest warrant for Mr. A on the grounds that there was a risk of flight.
