The personal information of Jang Yoon-gi, a 23-year-old suspect in the murder of a high school girl in Gwangju, has been disclosed.

The personal information of 23-year-old Jang Yoon-gi, who is accused of murdering a high school girl with a weapon while she was returning home in the early morning, has been made public. The Gwangju Police Agency held a Personal Information Disclosure Committee meeting on the 8th and decided to disclose Jang’s face, name, and age, citing serious harm caused and meeting the relevant legal criteria such as the public’s right to know. However, since Jang did not agree with this decision, the disclosure was postponed to today (14th). This is the first time in Gwangju that a suspect’s identity has been revealed for a major crime. Jang is accused of murdering a 17-year-old high school girl with a weapon on a walkway in Wolgye-dong, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, on the early morning of the 5th, and also attempting to murder a male student who came to help. He was arrested and transferred to the prosecution today.
