Yu Jae-seong, the acting commissioner general of the Korean National Police Agency, said he is reviewing disciplinary action against Inspector Jang, the father of "high school girl murderer" Jang Yoon-gi and an active-duty police officer, "with reference to the investigation results."
At a regular press briefing on the 19th, the acting commissioner general said, "The members of the investigative team will also review discipline reflecting the investigation results," and stated accordingly.
Inspector Jang discarded a sex doll and two mobile phones from Jang Yoon-gi's rented room. Under the Criminal Act's special provisions for relatives, he is not subject to criminal punishment for destruction of evidence, but discipline is possible.
Police have currently placed four people on standby and suspended three others in connection with the case. Regarding why discipline has not yet been imposed, the acting commissioner general explained, "The investigation (related to Jang Yoon-gi) must be concluded. Once it is concluded, we will take swift action."
