[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The police have deployed profilers to investigate the motive behind the crime committed by Kang Yoon-seong (56), who was arrested for damaging an electronic monitoring device (electronic anklet) and murdering two women.

According to the police on the 5th, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul is interviewing Kang this afternoon with the assistance of four profilers from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

The profilers are focusing on verifying the truthfulness of Kang's statements made during previous investigations and accurately identifying the motive behind the crime. It is also reported that psychological tests, including assessments for psychopathy, are being conducted.

Earlier, Kang stated during police questioning that the crime was committed due to financial issues; however, the police find his statements regarding the motive and process of the crime unreliable as they have changed multiple times. The police are also analyzing data by reviewing the bank accounts and communication records of Kang and the victims, as well as conducting forensic analysis on his mobile phone to reconstruct the circumstances before and after the crime. They are investigating indications that he planned crimes against other women and are considering additional charges such as attempted murder. The police plan to transfer Kang to the prosecution on the 7th.

Meanwhile, Kang was arrested on charges of killing a woman in her 40s at his home around 9:30 p.m. on the 26th of last month, cutting off his electronic anklet and fleeing the next afternoon, and killing a woman in her 50s in a vehicle around 3 a.m. on the 29th.
