A is accused of threatening his ex-girlfriend B (24) twice with a weapon at a villa in Wolsan-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju, between the 2nd and 4th of this month.


It is reported that he committed these crimes because B, his ex-girlfriend, refused to meet him and did not answer his calls.


On the 20th of last month, A sent hundreds of phone calls and text messages to B, and on the 24th of the same month, he punched B’s face and abdomen while she was in his car, then fled for several tens of kilometers before being caught by the police.



The police plan to complete supplementary investigations by the 10th, considering the risk of reoffense and the seriousness of the case, and then send A to prosecution under detention.
