[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] It was confirmed on the 22nd that Kim Tae-hyun (24), who was arrested and sent to prosecution on charges of murdering three women in an apartment in Nowon-gu, Seoul, has no connection to past unsolved cases.

The Nowon Police Station in Seoul stated on the same day, "There are no matches between the DNA data stored at the National Forensic Service (NFS) and Kim Tae-hyun's DNA."

To determine whether Kim was linked to past unsolved cases, the police collected his DNA twice and sent it to the NFS, receiving the results today. Even after sending Kim to prosecution, the police are checking for any other criminal charges based on materials secured during the investigation.

With it confirmed that there is no connection to unsolved cases, the police's investigation into additional crimes by Kim is expected to conclude soon.

Meanwhile, following discussions with police profilers, it was concluded that he is "not a psychopath." On the 20th, a police official stated, "Although some traits such as antisocial behavior appeared, it does not reach the level to diagnose him as a psychopath." Since the 6th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has deployed four criminal profilers who built a trusting relationship with Kim and analyzed the circumstances before and after the crime as well as his criminal psychology.
