South Korean police unveiled on Monday the identity of a man accused of murdering a colleague a day before a court was set to rule on whether he had stalked her, a case that sparked a public demand for tougher measures to stamp out such crimes.
Jeon Joo-hwan, 31, was arrested on charges of murder over the stabbing death last Wednesday of a 28-year-old woman in a subway restroom while she was on duty, officials said.
Both were employees of Seoul Metro, the operator of subway lines in the capital, though Jeon was relieved of his duties last October after police began investigating the stalking accusation.
