It has been reported that there is a person who assisted Kim, the suspect in the stabbing incident involving Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea.


On the 8th, the Busan police announced that they had urgently arrested a man in his 70s in Chungnam, who is suspected of assisting Kim, the attacker of Lee Jae-myung.


The police stated that they have arrested one accomplice on charges of aiding and abetting, who had promised to send by mail a "final statement" that Kim referred to as an excuse after the crime.


The arrested man is currently giving statements denying the crime, so the police are focusing their investigation on whether he possessed the document and whether it was actually sent.



The police are expanding the investigation to determine whether Kim had any accomplices.
