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

According to the police on the 29th, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul is investigating Kang Mo (56) on charges including murder and violation of the Act on the Attachment of Electronic Devices.

Kang, who damaged his electronic anklet and fled on the 27th, surrendered to the police around 8 a.m. that day and confessed to killing two women. He stated that he killed one person before fleeing and another during his escape, and surrendered believing that the crime would soon be discovered and he would be caught by the police. The police urgently arrested Kang.

The victims were women in their 40s and 50s, both of whom were known to Kang. It was reported that no 112 emergency calls related to the crime were made until the victims were found that day.

Following Kang's statement, the police confirmed the bodies at his residence and in his vehicle.

Additionally, the police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for Kang.

On the 27th, Kang cut off his electronic anklet on a street in Sincheon-dong, Songpa-gu. He discarded the anklet near Mongchontoseong Station on Subway Line 8, then drove a rental car to Seoul Station, abandoned the vehicle, and went into hiding.

The Seoul Eastern Probation Office, which supervised Kang, immediately requested police cooperation to track him after the anklet was damaged.
