[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A detention warrant for a man in his 20s, Haengsuhan, who broke into his ex-girlfriend's house and committed assault despite receiving a stalking punishment warning from the police, was dismissed.


According to the Jinju Police Station in Gyeongnam on the 21st, the Changwon District Court Jinju Branch dismissed the detention warrant for Mr. A (24), who is accused of violating the Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes, trespassing, and assault. The court reportedly stated the reason for dismissal as "no risk of flight or evidence destruction."


Mr. A is accused of climbing the pipes of a multi-family house in Jinju city around 12:05 a.m. on the 20th and breaking into the second-floor residence of Ms. B. He allegedly took the victim's mobile phone and assaulted her twice.


Mr. A had already received a stalking punishment warning from the police on the night of the 19th, just before the crime. He is also known to have a past record related to violence.



The police issued a restraining order against Mr. A to prevent him from approaching Ms. B and imposed a provisional measure allowing detention in a holding cell for up to one month if violated, separate from formal investigation. Additionally, Ms. B was provided with a smartwatch equipped with police reporting and location alert functions, and customized patrols will be conducted according to her daily routes.
