On July 10, the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office dispatched investigators to Gwangsan Police Station, which investigated the high school girl murderer Jang Yoonki case, and carried out a search and seizure operation.


This marks the second compulsory investigation, coming just three days after the initial search and seizure focused on the investigative department on July 7. The prosecution has reportedly booked Chief A, who is currently suspended from duty, on charges of abetting the destruction of evidence, and seized items such as computers from his office. It is also reported that Chief B, the head of the criminal investigation division at the same station, has been booked on the same charges and is under investigation.



Previously, on July 8, Chief C of the investigative team at the same police station was arrested on charges of destroying 'cable ties,' which could have been used as restraints, during the investigation into Jang Yoonki.
