[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Jeon Mo (31), who killed a female colleague subway worker in her 20s in the women's restroom at Sindang Station on Seoul Subway Line 2, committed the crime just before sentencing after being sentenced to 9 years in prison on charges including stalking the victim.

According to the legal community on the 15th, Jeon, an employee of Seoul Metro, was prosecuted this year in February and June on five charges including violation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes (threatening with use of filmed materials, filming using a camera, etc.), violation of the Stalking Punishment Act, and violation of the Information and Communications Network Act. The two cases were consolidated.

At the sentencing hearing held at the Seoul Western District Court on the 18th of last month, the prosecution demanded a 9-year prison sentence for Jeon, and the sentencing was scheduled to take place that day. Due to Jeon's crime, the sentencing was postponed to the 29th of this month.

Jeon also submitted letters of apology to the court three times during the early stages of the trial. It is known that Jeon met the victim, who was a new employee and a colleague who joined Seoul Metro at the same time, during new employee training, built a friendship, and then began stalking by forcing meetings.

The police applied a murder charge against Jeon on the day and requested an arrest warrant. The police are also looking for additional evidence to prove his premeditated crime.
