South Korean elementary-school teacher questioned over fatal stabbing of pupil
Associated PressSEOUL, South Korea — South Korean police on Tuesday were questioning an elementary-school teacher who allegedly stabbed a pupil to death in the city of Daejeon. The female suspect is receiving hospital treatment for self-inflicted wounds following the death of the young girl in an audio-visual room on the second-floor of the school, said Yuk Jong-myeong, chief of Daejeon’s western district police station. After the girl, a first-grade student, was reported missing at 5:15 p.m local time Monday, police and family members searched throughout the school and surrounding areas. Choi Sang-mok, who is serving as the country’s acting leader due to President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment over a martial law imposition in December, called for a thorough investigation into the incident and instructed education authorities to “implement necessary measures to ensure such incidents never happen again.” Visitors laid flowers and condolence letters at the gate of the school, which was closed on Tuesday.
