The Cyber Investigation Unit of the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency is tracking the poster who posted a murder threat on an online community.


According to the provincial police agency, the posts appeared dozens of times from the 30th of last month to the 12th of this month on three platforms: internet portals, online communities, and social networking services (SNS).


The posts mentioned the real name of a woman in her 20s and included profanity along with statements such as "I will find an acquaintance and kill them."


Some posts even included photos of the front gate of the house presumed to be where the woman lives.

Currently, the local police station is increasing patrols near the location where the crime was threatened.



The police plan to identify the author of the posts by tracing the unique internet protocol (IP) address of the computer used to post the messages and investigate whether the crime was actually being prepared and the motive behind it.
