The 59-year-old man suspected of killing a 15-year-old girl, a victim of his son's alleged sex crime, did not appear at his detention hearing on November 13. The Seoul Northern District Court's warrant judge Kang Young-hoon had scheduled the pre-detention questioning for 10:30 a.m., but the suspect, identified as Jin, expressed his intention to skip the hearing, prompting the court to review police records instead. Police had earlier requested an arrest warrant on November 12, and the man was placed under emergency arrest at around 1:40 a.m. on November 11, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The Dong-a Ilbo reports that Jin's decision to forgo the hearing was communicated to police, and the court will decide on his detention based on submitted investigation records.
