Police criticized for neglecting to protect the safety of the only witness to Jang Ja Yeon's case - Yoon Ji Oh Make a Petition Requesting Explanation and Apology from the Police for Failing to Provide the Right Protection to Him as the Only Witness.
The re-investigation of the suicide case of late Jang Ja Yeon is becoming a South Korean public concern. Recently, actress Yoon Ji Oh, who was the only witness to criticize police performance for being considered negligent, gave her protection properly.
Yoon Ji Oh made a petition on March 30 asking for an explanation and apology from the police for failing to provide proper protection to him as the only witness. He wrote an official statement through his personal Instagram account.
"Life as the only witness in 10 years is not easy or running smoothly. The reason I wrote this today is because the location tracking device and smartwatch emergency call given by the police to me for protection didn't work, and it has been 9 hours and 39 minutes since I reported it. It's hard to say anything about the deep despair and disappointment that I feel towards irresponsible police that I haven't been able to contact in any way even now. "
"I pressed the total call button three times, and the initial call time was 5:55 a.m. I have broadcast the whole process of my personal protection, and many of you have been witnesses."
"The reason I pressed the call button was because the last time, I kept hearing suspicious and annoying mechanical sounds near the wall, and this morning, I heard the same sound near the bathroom ceiling, not on the wall. also someone was cut sharply, and I heard that voice repeated several times.The day before, the door lock suddenly broke and could not be locked or moved, so I had to fix it. When I checked the door again, I found a trace of liquid that looked like gas flowing from the top of the door frame. A few days ago, when opening the door, my guard and I detected a strange gas smell. Because of my various suspicions and nervous emotions, I continued to sleep for less than an hour, and I pressed the call button because repeat. Now 9 hours 47 minutes have passed since the emergency call button was pressed, and (the police) haven't contacted me. "
The Dongjak Police Station in charge of witness protection for Yoon Ji Oh released an official statement on March 31. "Around 12:15 a.m., KST, we visited Yoon Ji Oh and talked to him for more than an hour. We sincerely apologized to him for failing to provide proper protection and promised that it would not happen again," the police said.
They explained that the smartwatch given to victims or witnesses under their protection program was equipped with location tracking and real-time calling functions. If the user makes an emergency call, it automatically enters the 112 emergency call system. The police confirm that Yoon Ji Oh initially activated the emergency call function on the 5:55 am KST on March 30 and continued to activate the function twice again. But his call did not enter the 112 system and he did not receive the assistance guaranteed to him under the protection program.
"We are currently working with a company that made a smartwatch to investigate why Yoon Ji Oh's call did not immediately enter system 112. When the call was made, text messages were also sent to the officer in charge, but they did not check the message on time," the police explained.
They explain that they have given Yoon Ji Oh the new smartwatch they tested in front of him. They will also assign a female police team to provide protection at all times. They also stated that Yoon Ji Oh would move to a new residence. "The forensic team has investigated the claims Yoon Ji Oh made from mechanical sounds, falling ventilators, and unknown liquids on the door. We will tell him as soon as the results come out," the police said.
"We will strengthen our protection measures and communication lines to ensure Yoon Ji Oh, witness to an important case, is not afraid of his safety," the police closed.
