The court issued an arrest warrant for a man in his 40s accused of killing a woman registered as a person under protection.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Woo-seok] A man in his 40s suspected of killing a woman registered as a police protection subject has been arrested.

On the 8th, the Gimcheon Branch of Daegu District Court conducted a pre-arrest interrogation (warrant substantive examination) of Mr. A (40) and issued an arrest warrant.

Mr. A is accused of stabbing a woman in her 40s, Ms. B, to death at an apartment in Gimcheon, Gyeongbuk, on the 6th. The deceased Ms. B had reported to the police a day before the incident, complaining that "she was being threatened by a man she knew."

The police confirmed the victimization from Ms. B on the 6th and registered her as a protection subject, providing her with a smartwatch.

On the same day in the afternoon, Ms. B used the smartwatch to call the police, who immediately arrived at the scene, but Ms. B was found already deceased.

The police checked the apartment's surrounding CCTV and confirmed that Mr. A entered the apartment before Ms. B died, identifying him as a suspect and tracking him down.

Mr. A surrendered to the Dongbu Police Station in Daejeon about two hours after the crime and was transferred to the Gimcheon Police Station.

The police have arrested Mr. A and plan to investigate the specific circumstances related to the crime.
