At a kindergarten in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, the police applied for an arrest warrant for a kindergarten teacher accused of putting a foreign object into a meal after 4 months.
The Seoul Geumcheon Police Station announced today (7th) that it will apply for an arrest warrant for additional property damage to a woman in her 40s who is accused of putting foreign substances into kindergarten students' meals (child abuse and attempted special injury).
A police official explained, "We decided that the act of putting foreign substances into kindergarten students' meals and co-teacher's coffee could also be viewed as a crime of property damage, so the crime was added."
The police applied for an arrest warrant once in February, but were instructed to conduct a complementary investigation by the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office.
A is suspected of putting an unidentified liquid containing mosquito repellent and surfactant into a feeding canister for students at a kindergarten in Geumcheon-gu last November.
More than 10 children have been affected.
It was investigated that he had put suspicious substances into the lunches and coffees of his fellow teachers.
The parents of the victims are calling for the dismissal of Mr. A and severe punishment.
