<사전에 너클 꼈던 것에 살해 의도 있으셨나요?>

″None.″

<범행 언제부터 계획하셨습니까?>

″I don’t know.″

The court issued an arrest warrant for Mr.

The victim, who was severely injured in the head and chest by Choi’s assault, received treatment at the hospital for three days, but died at around 3:40 pm yesterday.

It was immediately after the interrogation of the suspect before Choi’s arrest.

The court explained that the warrant questioning was completed before the death of the victim, so the crime was not changed, but the issuance of the warrant was decided considering the circumstances of the victim’s death.

Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon, who visited the mortuary last night, said, “It appears to be an official disaster,” considering that the victim, who was an elementary school teacher, was on her way to work for training during vacation.

The police are scheduled to conduct an autopsy tomorrow and change Choi’s charges from rape and injury to rape and murder.

In addition, as Mr. Choi stated that he purchased the knuckle last April, we are intensively investigating the traces of preparation for the crime over the past four months through cell phone analysis.

The police said they plan to conduct an interview with two profilers and discuss whether to disclose their identity as they brutally committed a crime against a woman they had never seen before on a hiking trail.
