[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Kim Tae-hyun (24), who is accused of murdering three women in an apartment in Nowon-gu, Seoul, will be handed over to the prosecution on the 9th.

The Nowon Police Station in Seoul plans to transfer Kim to the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office this morning on five charges: murder, theft, trespassing, violation of the Minor Offenses Act (continuous harassment), and violation of the Information and Communications Network Act.

Kim is suspected of killing three women in an apartment in Junggye-dong, Nowon-gu, on the 23rd of last month. He stole a weapon from a nearby supermarket and entered the house by impersonating a delivery worker.

The police responded to a report from an acquaintance of the victims on the 25th of the same month, stating that "a friend could not be contacted," but when they arrived at the scene, the three women were already deceased. Before the police arrived, Kim attempted self-harm and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he underwent surgery and was hospitalized. After recovering to a level where communication was possible, he was arrested on the 2nd. He has since been interrogated four times. Four profilers were also involved in the investigation.

During the police investigation, Kim admitted to all charges. He reportedly stated that his motive was anger because the eldest daughter, Ms. A, made disparaging remarks about him in a group chat. Kim also testified that he confirmed the address by looking at a delivery box in a photo sent by the victim via mobile messenger.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency held a personal information disclosure review committee on the 5th and decided to release Kim's name, age, and photo. Following this decision, Kim is expected to appear at the photo line for the first time when he is transferred to the prosecution today. He may remove his mask at the photo line.

The Nowon Police Station, which has been investigating this case, plans to announce the investigation results at the police station after transferring Kim this morning.
