Two Teenagers Detained for Detaining and Assaulting Junior... Posted Abusive and Provocative Comments on SNS Out of Bad Mood

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 13th, the Naju Police Station in Jeonnam announced that it had arrested A (19) and B (18) on the 12th on charges of collectively assaulting a junior and confining him in a one-room apartment (joint injury and confinement under the Act on the Punishment of Violent Crimes), and also booked three other peers who were less involved in the crime without detention.

They are accused of taking their junior C (18) into a car around 5 a.m. on the 10th in a residential area in Buk-gu, Gwangju, dragging him to a vacant lot in Seo-gu, and assaulting him dozens of times with fists and feet, causing injuries requiring about four weeks of medical treatment.

A and B are also accused of taking C to a one-room apartment in Naju and confining him there for about seven hours.

A took C's mobile phone but later returned it at his own one-room apartment.

C sent a text message to his family saying he was confined in an unknown one-room apartment to avoid surveillance, and the police, upon receiving the report, searched the area and found the one-room apartment.

During the police investigation, A and others claimed that they knew C from society, and that they were upset because C wrote abusive and provocative posts on SNS. They also stated that they did not intend to confine him.
