, ‘(Seoul=Yonhap News) The funeral of Kim Ha-neul (8), the victim of the Daejeon elementary school girl murder case.’,
,
, ‘The photo of Ha-neul in the memorial picture displayed a bright, smiling, and peaceful face.’,
,
, ‘Next to Ha-neul, who reportedly loved IVE’s Jang Won-young in her lifetime, lay a photo card of IVE, and a wreath from IVE was set up at the funeral.’,
,
, ‘At the front gate of the elementary school in Seo-gu, Daejeon, notes with messages like “How much pain did you endure?” and “Sorry, Ha-neul” were abundant.’,
,
, ‘The autopsy on the morning of the 12th confirmed that Ha-neul’s cause of death was multiple traumatic injuries.’,
,
, ‘Ha-neul’s father, weeping, appealed for the government to create a “Ha-neul Law” to prevent another similar tragedy, enabling mentally weak teachers to receive treatment and ensuring the safety of lower-grade students returning home.’,
,
, ‘The 40-year-old female teacher who killed Ha-neul took a six-month leave for mental illness starting December 9 last year, but abruptly returned to work after about 20 days.’,
,
, ‘At an urgent briefing held by the Daejeon Office of Education the previous day, Choi Jae-mo, the Director of Education, explained that a psychiatrist issued a diagnosis stating the teacher had recovered enough to live a daily life, which was attached to her application for reinstatement, leading to her return based on this expert opinion.’,
,
, ‘The same teacher damaged a school computer on the 5th and attacked a fellow teacher who spoke to her while she was alone in a classroom on the 6th, just five days before the incident.’,
,
, ‘The school only issued a verbal warning from the vice-principal without filing a police report, and the education authorities sent an inspector to investigate the matter on the morning of the 10th, when Ha-neul was murdered.’,
,
, ‘Although the education authorities recommended separation measures, they did not meet the perpetrating teacher on that day, nor was the Committee for the Assessment of Teacher Illnesses convened to evaluate her mental and physical condition.’,
,
, ‘The criticism is that the education authorities’ passive response led to the teacher’s horrific crime despite numerous warning signs.’,
,
, ‘It is reported that the police have launched a search and seizure operation at the teacher’s residence and car.’,
,
, ‘Meeting the press at the funeral, Ha-neul’s father expressed concern that the perpetrating teacher might claim mental weakness and questioned how the crime could not be considered premeditated, advocating for a strong punishment.’,
