Gyeonggi North Police Arrest Seven in Private Revenge Assault
The Gyeonggi North Police Agency’s Metropolitan Crime Investigation Team arrested seven suspects for a privately commissioned assault in Uijeongbu, South Korea. The plot was organized by a 30‑year‑old employee (referred to as A) who, after a workplace dispute with his 60‑year‑old aunt, hired a 20‑year‑old associate (B) to recruit four executors. Using social‑media messaging, the group coordinated the attack, promised the perpetrators 80 million won, and attempted to destroy evidence.
The victim suffered injuries estimated to require two weeks of medical care. Police seized the suspects’ phones and illicit proceeds, and they have been charged with assault, conspiracy and related offenses. Authorities emphasized that even anonymous requests for private revenge will be pursued and that all participants will face strict prosecution.
