On the 21st, the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency's Women and Youth Crime Bureau announced that it had arrested a man in his 40s on charges of child abuse and death under the Special Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes.
A is accused of beating his son B (11) in the fifth grade with a blunt instrument to death at an apartment in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, on the afternoon of the 16th.
A reported to 119 by himself early the day after the crime, saying, "My son is not breathing," but B, who was taken to a general hospital by the paramedics, finally died. At that time, B had bruises all over his body.
The police urgently arrested A after confirming the abuse at the hospital.
The National Forensic Service, which conducted an autopsy on the body of B, delivered an oral opinion to the police that "there is a causal relationship between trauma and death." A also admitted to the charges in a police investigation, saying, "My son didn't listen and hit me to admonish me."
The Incheon District Court held an interrogation of the suspect before A's arrest on the 19th and issued an arrest warrant.
Police are investigating whether Mr. B's mother, Mr. C, in her 40s, was also charged with violating the Child Welfare Act and assisted her husband's crime or neglected his son. A police official said, "We are further checking whether his wife was at home when A assaulted his son due to conflicting statements," adding, "We are also investigating the exact timing of the assault."
