[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] The family of the victims in the so-called 'Incheon Interfloor Noise Weapon Rampage' incident that occurred in a villa in Incheon has demanded the release of nearby closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

On the 25th, a post titled "We petition for the release of CCTV footage of the 'Incheon Interfloor Noise Weapon Rampage Incident,' where a family was destroyed due to the police's negligent response" was uploaded on the Blue House National Petition Board.

On the 25th, a petition titled "Request to disclose CCTV footage of the 'Incheon inter-floor noise stabbing incident' that destroyed a family due to the police's complacent response" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board. Photo by Blue House National Petition Board capture

The petitioner, who identified themselves as the victim's younger sibling, stated, "If the police want to stand upright and truly admit their wrongdoing, they should not hide the CCTV footage but disclose it," adding, "We ask the police to consider the suffering of the families who are still unaware of the truth and anxiously waiting, and to release the CCTV footage without mocking the public with mere media reports."

The petitioner explained the situation at the time, saying, "During the incident, while police officers were present, the perpetrator stabbed my sister's neck with a weapon, and the police who witnessed this left the scene. Because the responding officers did not join the scene, the other two family members were stabbed by the weapon while trying to subdue the perpetrator, and my sister was transported to the hospital in cardiac arrest as her neck bleeding could not be stopped."

They appealed, "At an age not yet 50, my sister's remaining life as a human being was tragically destroyed due to the police's irresponsible response."

The petitioner continued, "Three family members suffered serious injuries, and the trauma from witnessing all family members being stabbed has caused extreme suffering and ruined our lives. I cannot understand whether the refusal to provide the CCTV footage to the family is for the victims' sake or the police's. What are they afraid of by not releasing it?"

Meanwhile, the court did not accept the victim family's request to preserve the CCTV footage as evidence. On the 16th, Judge Jeong Hyun-seol of the Incheon District Court Civil Division 35 dismissed the application for evidence preservation of the CCTV footage filed by three victim family members against the state.
