Murder Victim’s Family Kicked by Police

On July 26, a plainclothes police officer kicked a family member of a murder victim who was trying to approach Yoo Young-chul, a mass murderer who was being transferred to the prosecutor’s office. The police offered an excuse, saying, ”The umbrella that the family member was holding was mistaken for a weapon. We only tried to prevent any unfortunate event from happening and didn’t mean to hit the person.”
