Personal Information of Middle-aged Woman and Accomplice Murderer Disclosed... 52-year-old Kwon Jae-chan

Personal Information Disclosure Review Committee "Unanimous Decision to Disclose Personal Information"

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The personal information of a man in his 50s who murdered a middle-aged woman and even killed an accomplice who helped dispose of the body has been disclosed.

On the 9th, the Incheon Police Agency held a personal information disclosure review committee and released the name, age, and photo of Kwon Jae-chan (52), who was recently arrested on charges of robbery, murder, and corpse disposal.

The review committee, composed of three internal members including police officers and five external experts such as legal professionals, held a closed meeting at 2 p.m. that day and judged that the case met the legal requirements for personal information disclosure. The committee stated, "The crime was brutal and caused serious harm, and sufficient evidence was secured," adding, "We unanimously decided to disclose the personal information as it meets the requirements such as public interest."

According to the recently revised "Guidelines for Disclosure of Suspect's Face and Personal Information," the police verbally informed Kwon of the review meeting the day before. Kwon expressed to the police that he did not want his face and name to be disclosed.

On the morning of the 4th, Kwon is accused of strangling a woman in her 50s, Ms. A, whom he knew, to death in a building in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, and withdrawing several million won in cash using her credit card. He is also suspected of disposing of the body in the trunk of a car.

The next day in the afternoon, near a mountain in Eulwang-ri, Jung-gu, Incheon, he allegedly killed his accomplice, a man in his 40s, Mr. B, by striking him with a blunt weapon he had prepared in advance, and secretly buried the body nearby. Although Mr. B did not directly kill Ms. A, he helped Kwon dispose of her body.

In police investigations, Kwon claimed that he killed the victims impulsively after an argument. However, the police believe it was a premeditated crime motivated by financial gain, as Kwon had learned Ms. A's credit card PIN in advance before killing her.
