[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] On the 14th, the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency and Changnyeong Police Station announced that during an additional search the previous day, they secured a diary written by a child who was habitually abused by her stepfather and biological mother as evidence.


The police confirmed that the victim child had been keeping a diary, and after arresting the stepfather (35) suspected of habitual abuse, they secured the diary from the home.


The police are analyzing the diary contents to see if there is any information that can prove the abuse.


On the same day, the police applied for an arrest warrant on charges that the stepfather, along with his wife, subjected his elementary school-aged stepdaughter to near-torture abuse, such as tying her neck with a chain and feeding her only one meal a day, from 2017 until recently.



The Changwon District Court Milyang Branch is expected to conduct a pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant hearing) for the stepfather as early as the 15th.
