'Personal Protection Female Family Murder' Lee Seok-jun Transferred for Detention on 17th... Psychological Evaluation and Interview Also Conducted

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Lee Seok-jun (25), who was arrested on charges of killing the family of a woman he previously dated, will be handed over to the prosecution on the 17th.

The Songpa Police Station in Seoul plans to transfer Lee, who is accused of murder and attempted murder, under custody on the morning of the same day. The police also intend to involve profilers from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency to conduct interviews and psychological evaluations of Lee.

Lee was arrested on the 12th for allegedly wielding a weapon against the mother and younger brother of his ex-girlfriend A, who lived in a villa in Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, on the afternoon of the 10th. They were immediately taken to the hospital, but the mother eventually passed away. The younger brother is still receiving treatment in the intensive care unit due to severe bleeding. Lee broke into a second-floor room of a neighboring house, hid in the master bedroom wardrobe, and was caught in the act by police 20 minutes after their arrival.

Prior to this crime, Lee was under investigation for sexually assaulting and detaining A. However, the police judged that there was no urgency to obtain an arrest warrant and did not detain him. Four days later, Lee came up to Seoul and committed this crime. On the 14th, the police held a personal information disclosure review committee and released his face and personal information.

During earlier police investigations, Lee stated that he "used a private investigation agency to find out A's address." The police confirmed that Lee had illegally requested the victim’s home address from a private investigation agency during the preparation for the crime and obtained accurate information from an agency employee. The police have also booked this employee on charges including violation of the Personal Information Protection Act and are investigating. After questioning the employee about the specific crime process, how the information was obtained, and whether there were accomplices, the police plan to apply for an arrest warrant.
