Sex Offender Who Cut Off Electronic Ankle Bracelet and Fled, Surrenders After Killing Two People

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A sex offender who cut off his location-tracking electronic anklet (electronic bracelet) and fled was confirmed to have murdered two women after surrendering to the police two days later.

According to the police on the 29th, A (56), who damaged the electronic anklet and fled on the 27th and surrendered to the Songpa Police Station in Seoul around 8 a.m. that day, stated, "I killed two women." It is reported that A testified that he killed one person before fleeing and another during the escape.

The police confirmed the bodies based on A's statements and are investigating the exact time and motive of the crime.

A was released in May after serving a prison sentence for special forcible molestation and was wearing an electronic anklet upon release. On the 27th, he cut off the electronic anklet on a street in Sincheon-dong, Songpa-gu, and fled. After discarding the anklet near Mongchontoseong Station on Subway Line 8, he drove a rental car to Seoul Station, abandoned the vehicle, and disappeared. The Seoul Eastern Probation Office, which supervises A, immediately requested police cooperation and began tracking him as soon as the anklet was damaged.
