South Korean teacher admits to stabbing girl to death, police say
SEOUL, South Korea — A teacher at a South Korean elementary school has admitted to stabbing a 7-year-old girl who was found in cardiac arrest and later died in hospital, a police official said Tuesday.
The female teacher, who is being treated for self-inflicted wounds in hospital, has not yet been arrested, the official said, as police were still investigating Monday’s stabbing.
Acting President Choi Sang-mok offered deep condolences during a Cabinet meeting over the child’s death and ordered the education ministry and the authorities to thoroughly investigate the incident at the school in the city of Daejeon.
The girl was a student at the school where the teacher worked, though police had not established a personal relationship between the two so far, according to the police official.
The girl was discovered by her grandmother, an official at the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education said during a media briefing on Tuesday. She was found with stab wounds in the neck and face, a local fire department official told Reuters on Monday, and later died in hospital.
The female teacher had taken a leave of absence for medical reasons before prematurely returning to work late last year, the education office official told the briefing.
