"Another Stalking Murder Tragedy"... 20s Male Stabs Ex-Girlfriend's Mother to Death

20s Man Stabs Ex-Girlfriend's House Under 'Personal Protection'
Reported for Sexual Assault 4 Days Ago... Police Weigh Retaliatory Crime

A man in his 20s went to the house of a woman he had previously dated and attacked her family members with a weapon. The man was arrested, but the woman’s mother died and her teenage younger brother is in critical condition.

According to the police on the 10th, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul is investigating Lee (20s) on charges of murder and attempted murder. Lee is accused of visiting the home of Ms. A in a villa in Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, in the afternoon and stabbing Ms. A’s mother and younger brother in the chest and neck with a weapon. The victims were immediately taken to the hospital, but the mother died and the younger brother is in severe bleeding.

Ms. A was not at the scene during the incident and thus avoided harm. She had reported Lee to another police station on the 6th on charges of sexual assault and was registered as a person under protection. However, no separate protective measures were taken for her family, and no detention or other custody measures were taken against Lee.

The police are reportedly focusing on the possibility that Lee held a grudge after being notified of the breakup and reported for a sex crime, and intended to retaliate against Ms. A.
