Coast Guard Officer Arrested for Killing Girlfriend Out of Anger from Frequent Fights

An active coast guard officer who followed his girlfriend to the restroom after an argument and killed her was apprehended 10 hours after the crime.

The Mokpo Police Station in Jeonnam urgently arrested coast guard officer A (30) on the 15th on charges of murder for killing his girlfriend and fleeing the scene.

A is suspected of killing a woman in her 30s who was found dead in a restroom at a commercial building in Sang-dong, Mokpo-si, Jeonnam, around 6 a.m. that day.

The police initially recognized the case as a suspicious death at the scene and reviewed CCTV and other footage, reclassifying it as a violent crime.

Subsequently, the entire violent crime unit was mobilized to analyze A’s movements from the day before the crime until his arrest, and through an all-out response, A (30) was apprehended 10 hours after the incident occurred.

A reportedly stated that he had frequent arguments with the victim, who was in a relationship with him, on that day, and in a moment of anger, he struck the victim and then strangled her.

The police plan to secure additional evidence and apply for an arrest warrant.

Lee Jun-young, chief of the Mokpo Police Station, stated, “We will continue to promptly and thoroughly respond to and apprehend heinous and violent criminals who threaten the safety of Mokpo citizens.”

Previously, the Mokpo Police Station also responded immediately to a robbery and injury case that occurred in July and apprehended the suspect on the day of the incident.
