Cho Hyun-jin (27), whose identity was revealed after being arrested on charges of killing his ex-girlfriend who announced the breakup, was sent to the prosecution today (21st).
Before being sent to the prosecution from the Cheonan Dongnam Police Station in Chungcheongnam-do, while wearing a mask, Cho said, "I'm sorry" when a reporter asked if there was anything to say to the bereaved family.
Cho is accused of running away after swinging a knife at A in the bathroom of his ex-girlfriend A's house in Seobuk-gu, Cheonan-si, around 9 pm on the 12th.
Person A was taken to the hospital and died while receiving treatment.
At the time of the crime, Mr. A's mother was in the house, and it was investigated that Mr. Cho killed Mr. A with a knife while locking the bathroom door.
A police official said, "Mr. Cho stated that he had no intention of murder, except that he took the weapon to threaten his girlfriend."
