Lee Seok-jun, who emerged from the police station's detention center, repeatedly said he was sorry for the questions related to the crime.



The Seoul Songpa Police Station, which had been in charge of the investigation of this case, arrested and sent Lee Seok-jun to the prosecution today (17th), who is accused of murdering a woman's family who was subject to personal protection.



Instead of murder, the police applied a total of seven charges, including retaliatory murder under the Special Act, attempted murder under the Criminal Act, preliminary murder, confinement, and property damage.



Regarding the change of charge to retaliatory murder, he said that it was judged that the crime was committed in retaliation due to the police report of a woman protecting herself, saying that it was accepted that she had purchased a weapon in advance and searched for the method of the crime.



The police explained that Lee Seok-jun planned the crime in advance, such as finding out the victim's home address through the Heungshin Office before the crime and searching for ways to unlock the door lock.



The police also said that the allegation that Lee Seok-jun imprisoned the victim before the crime was confirmed after confirming several circumstances.



The police announced yesterday that they will continue the investigation into accomplices and female crimes, following the arrest of a Heungshinso employee who passed the home address of the victim's family to Lee Seok-jun for 500,000 won.
