According to a report by the Dong-A Ilbo on the 6th, Kim Tae-hyun searched for’emergency place’ with his mobile phone before breaking into the home of the victim A (25) on the 23rd of last month.
Kim Tae-hyun stayed at the victim’s house after the crime and deleted all messages remaining on his cell phone, but the police found the search record through digital forensics.
The police believe that Kim Tae-hyun is a pre-planned murder when considering the location of vital spots before the crime and preparing weapons in advance.
Kim Tae-hyun, disguised as a quick-service delivery driver around 8 pm on the 23rd of last month, invaded the home of Mr. A in Nowon-gu, Seoul, and committed the murder.
Upon autopsy of the bodies of the three mothers and daughters who died, all of the victims suffered fatal injuries near the neck where the carotid artery passes.
Kim Tae-hyun also prepared a change of clothes in advance after the crime.
According to the police, after committing the crime, Kim Tae-hyun took off the victim’s blood-stained clothes and changed into the clothes he had put in his bag.
A police official said, “I hurt my neck and arm with a weapon after the crime, but I did not lose consciousness.”
Tae-Hyun Kim has been stalking him since he first met Mr. A at a meeting with online game members in December last year.
Kim Tae-hyun repeatedly visited A’s home after finding the delivery box in the photo posted by Mr. A on the online messenger and finding the address.
Mr. A also complained of fear to acquaintances, saying, “Every time I go home, I turn around.”
Kim Tae-hyun, who is currently in custody, is scheduled to be sent to the prosecution as early as the 8th.
