An alley in Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul.
An ambulance arrives, and a patrol vehicle appears shortly thereafter.
The report was received today (19th) around 11:35 am.
It was a pressing story about a woman lying bleeding in the hallway of an officetel.
A woman in her 30s had a scar on her face that looked like it had been stabbed with a knife.
[Eyewitness: There was blood like this for almost 1m, and there were some traces of hair cut with a knife. There was blood on the wall... .]
Mr. A received CPR and was taken to a nearby hospital, but eventually died.
A has been subject to personal protection from dating violence managed by the police since the 7th.
Because he reported that he was threatened by his ex-boyfriend, whom he broke up with six months ago.
[Police official: I broke up with my boyfriend 6 months ago, but he continues to threaten me. I want to see you again, and if you don't, I will kill you. (So) I paid a smart watch and… .]
At the time of discovery, Mr. A also had a 'smart watch' that could immediately report to the police in case of an emergency and could track the location in real time.
Prior to the report that the woman fell, it was confirmed that the report was received twice through A's smart watch for personal protection at the time.
The Seoul Central Police Station, which is investigating this case, has identified the suspect who stabbed A as a male in his 30s, B, and is tracking down B, who is on the run, by sending all six powerful teams.
