[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The representative of a children's sports center, who murdered a female employee in her 20s in a bizarre manner, claimed that he does not accurately remember the circumstances of the crime.


According to the police on the 4th, the Seodaemun Police Station in Seoul secured a statement from suspect A (41), who said on the day of the incident, "I remember getting angry at the police officers who responded after I reported to the police," and is focusing on accurately determining the motive for the crime.


A claimed that he was intoxicated at the time and reportedly said he does not remember the rest of the situation, including the murder act.


On the morning of the 31st of last month, around 2 a.m., A reported to the sports center, saying, "A man is hitting my sister." However, after the police arrived, A changed his story, saying, "I never made such a report," and "A man broke in and fought, then ran away."


The police found the victim, a female employee in her 20s, lying on the scene and checked her pulse by placing a hand on her chest, but judged that her life was not in danger. It was also reported that no bloodstains or other evidence of a crime were found. A explained, "She was just sleeping drunk." Regarding the CCTV footage, he said, "I don't want to show it. I will go to the police station myself and file a complaint."



After hearing these statements, the police withdrew from the scene. About seven hours later, at 9:05 a.m., A reported, "After waking up, the employee was unconscious," and the police urgently arrested A.
