<Reporter> On a
dark night, a man throws something on the side of the road and hurriedly leaves his seat.
This is a scene where 62-year-old Kim Mo, who is 62 years old, cuts off an electronic anklet and runs away from Okcheon-dong, Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do, around 3 a.m. on the 26th.
Kim, known as a 35-year-old criminal, was sentenced to seven years in prison for raping a minor several times in 2006 and was released from prison in 2014.
The court ordered the use of electronic anklets until 2019, but after committing two different crimes, they were forced to wear electronic anklets by 2023.
As a result, they were classified as 'high risk of recidivism' and received intensive supervision.
Kim also violated the rules of going out at night and drinking alcohol twice in September.
Kim, who had been delaying the investigation into the Ministry of Justice, fled from his home in Changnyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do to Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, and disappeared after cutting off the electronic anklet with an industrial cutter.
When no traces of Mr. Kim were found despite an extensive search, the Ministry of Justice decided to openly want him.
He was 165 cm skinny, did not wear glasses, wore a black suit and a pink shirt, and was carrying a small handbag.
The police expanded the search scope as it was highly likely that Mr. Kim had left the Suncheon area.
