‘Female Middle and High School Stabbing · Presidential Office Terror’ Post... Teenage Male Arrested and Indicted

Prosecutors "Strict Response to Similar Crimes"

The prosecution has indicted a teenage boy who posted threats of stabbing attacks at girls' middle and high schools and a terrorist attack on the Presidential Office.

On the 21st, the Criminal Division 3 of the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Kim Hee-young) announced that they had indicted A (16) on charges of threats and other offenses the previous day.

A posted dozens of messages threatening stabbing and bomb attacks at the Presidential Office, Seoul Station, girls' middle and high schools, Jamsil Gymnasium, and local festivals to attract attention. As a result, over 1,500 personnel, including police officers, firefighters, special forces, and soldiers, were mobilized, leading to a waste of public resources.

A prosecution official stated, "We will continue to cooperate with the police to strictly respond to similar crimes that cause public anxiety, such as posting murder threats."
