Police Diagnostic Test Result: "Not a Sapae"
Analysis Submitted to Prosecution
2018 Academic Year Science Track CSAT Perfect Scorer Gains Attention
The police have concluded that Choi Mo (25), the suspect in the 'Gangnam Medical Student Girlfriend Murder Case,' is "not a psychopath."
According to the police on the 20th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency conducted a psychological analysis on Choi by deploying a profiler and administering the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), concluding that he does not exhibit psychopathic tendencies. The police plan to provide the analysis results to the prosecution, which is conducting a detention investigation of Kim.
The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised is a test that quantifies psychopathic personality traits such as coldness, impulsivity, lack of empathy, and irresponsibility. It consists of 20 items and is scored out of 40 points. Generally, a score above 25 classifies a person as a psychopath.
On May 6th, around 5 p.m., Choi stabbed his same-age girlfriend Nam Mo (25) multiple times with a weapon on the rooftop of a building located in Seocho-gu, Seoul, killing her. In the police investigation, he stated that he committed the crime after his girlfriend said she wanted to break up. Choi was known for having achieved a perfect score on the natural sciences section of the 2018 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). As he is currently known to be enrolled in a major medical school, his past has come under renewed scrutiny.
