On October 17, police conducted a search of the home of Choi Chung-rak, who allegedly attacked 10 people with a knife at a large commercial facility in Incheon.
According to Yonhap News, the Namdong Police Station in Incheon sent 10 investigators and forensic experts to Choi's residence in Gyeyang-gu from 8 a.m. to 9:20 a.m. to carry out the search.
The police aimed to confirm evidence that Choi had premeditated the attack, securing items necessary for proving the crime, including notebooks and documents.
Choi, who accompanied the police during the search, reportedly displayed a relatively cooperative attitude.
He was arrested for attempting to stab and kill 10 patrons at the C&C building in Guwol-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon, on October 13 at 1:48 p.m.
Among the victims, eight were classified as injured, including a 19-year-old woman who remains unconscious, while two others were unharmed.
During police questioning, Choi claimed he was dissatisfied with a hospital where he received treatment for a skin condition and stated that he wanted to create news to express his grievances.
Choi has a criminal record that includes two counts of attempted murder and a total of 10 offenses resulting in fines or more severe penalties.
