Police and subway officials patrol Jamsil Station in southeastern Seoul, Friday, in response to a menacing online post that threatened a copycat crime similar to the stabbing rampage that took place the day before in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province. Yonhap 경찰과 지하철 관계자들이 금요일 발생한 흉기 난동과 유사한 모방 범죄를 위협하는 위협적인 온라인 게시물에 대응하여 서울 남동부의 잠실역을 순찰하고 있다. 연합

Gov't mulls introducing life imprisonment without parole for serious crimes
정부, 심각한 범죄에 대해 가석방 없는 종신형을 도입을 고려

A series of copycat crimes and menacing online posts forewarning of similar attacks emerged across the country following stabbing rampages at southern Seoul's Sillim Station and a department store in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.
서울 남부 신림역과 경기도 성남의 한 백화점에서 발생한 흉기난동 이후 유사한 공격을 경고하는 일련의 모방 범죄와 협박성 온라인 게시물이 전국적으로 나타나고있다.

On Thursday evening, a 22-year-old surnamed Choi rammed a vehicle into pedestrians outside a department store near Seohyeon Station in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, and then attacked shoppers with a knife inside the building. The attack left 14 people injured with two in critical condition and at risk of brain death, according to fire authorities, Friday.
지난 목요일 저녁 경기도 성남시 서현역 근처의 한 백화점 앞에서 22살 최 모 씨가 차량을 들이받은 뒤 건물 안에서 흉기로 쇼핑객들을 공격했다. 이 공격으로 14명이 다쳤고, 2명은 중태에 빠졌으며 뇌사위험에 처해 있다고 소방당국이 금요일 밝혔다.

The attack resembled last month's stabbing attack outside Sillim Station in southern Seoul, where a 33-year-old man surnamed Cho attacked four men with a knife, killing one and wounding three.
이번 테러는 지난달 서울 강남구 신림역 외곽에서 33살 조모씨가 남성 4명을 칼로 찔러 1명이 숨지고 3명이 다친 것과 유사하다.

These incidents have sparked a concerning pattern of similar violent episodes and online threats of copycat attacks.
이러한 사건들은 유사한 폭력적인 에피소드와 모방 공격의 온라인 위협의 우려스러운 패턴을 촉발시켰다.

On Friday, an unidentified man in his late 20s stabbed a high school teacher multiple times in the face and chest at a high school in Daejeon's Daedeok District, 139 kilometers south of Seoul.
지난 금요일, 서울에서 남쪽으로 139km 떨어진 대전 대덕지구의 한 고등학교에서 신원을 알 수 없는 20대후반 남성이 한 고등학교 교사의 얼굴과 가슴을 여러차례 찔렀다.

The suspect reportedly entered the front gate after introducing himself as a graduate of the school and looked for the victim at the teachers' office. After the attack, the teacher fled to an administrative office and reported it to the police, while the suspect ran away.
용의자는 자신을 학교졸업생이라고 소개한 뒤 정문으로 들어가 교무실에서 피해자를 찾았고, 교사는 폭행 후 행정실로 도주해 경찰에 신고했고, 용의자는 달아난 것으로 알려졌다.

Police arrested the suspect, identified as a former student whom the victim had previously taught, seven to eight kilometers away from where the attack took place about two hours later and are investigating his motives. The victim was transferred to a hospital in an unconscious state and underwent surgery.
경찰은 피해 학생이 이전에 가르쳤던 전직 학생으로 확인된 용의자를 2시간여 만에 사고장소에서 7~8km 떨어진 곳에서 검거하고 범행 동기 등을 조사하고 있다. 피해자는 의식이 없는 상태로 병원으로 옮겨져 수술을 받았다.

In a separate incident, a knife-wielding man in his 20s was apprehended at the ground floor of Seoul Express Bus Terminal in Seocho District, Friday. According to Seocho Police Station, the police received a report about him at 10:39 a.m., and arrested the man, who was found to be carrying two kitchen knives on the first floor of the terminal, about six minutes later. No casualties were reported.
이와 별도로 지난 4일 서초구 서울고속버스터미널 1층에서 흉기를 휘두른 20대 남성이 붙잡혔습니다. 서초경찰서에 따르면 경찰은 오전 10시 39분쯤 A 씨에 대한 신고를 접수하고, 6분여 만에 A 씨를 터미널 1층에서 주방용 칼 2개를 소지하고 있던 것으로 파악해 검거했다. 인명피해는 없었다.

Police are now investigating 11 posts made on the online community DC Inside and through Telegram messenger, where users have explicitly threatened to carry out similar attacks, emulating the recent spate of stabbings.
경찰은 현재 온라인 커뮤니티 DC인사이드와 텔레그램 메신저를 통해 작성된 11개의 게시물을 조사하고 있는데, 사용자들은 최근 잇따른 흉기 난동을 모방해 비슷한 공격을 하겠다고 명시적으로 위협했다.


These threats, which detail the intended time and location of possible new attacks, have generated public fear, particularly as they are spread online via screenshots. The locations of the forewarned attacks are mainly at subway stations in Busan, Seoul and cities in Gyeonggi Province near where Thursday's rampage took place.
새로운 공격의 의도된 시간과 장소를 상세히 기술하는 이러한 위협은 특히 스크린샷을 통해 온라인에 퍼지면서 대중의 공포를 자아냈다. 예고된 공격의 장소는 주로 부산, 서울의 지하철역과 목요일의 사고가 일어난 곳 근처의 경기도 도시들이다.

Although some of the posts have been deleted as of Friday afternoon, public fears are growing as the screenshots of the posts spread online. Police patrols have increased in the specified areas, with additional emergency officials and ambulance services on standby.
금요일 오후 현재 일부 게시물이 삭제되었지만 게시물 스크린샷이 온라인으로 퍼지면서 국민들의 공포가 커지고 있다. 지정된 지역에서 경찰 순찰이 증가하여 응급 관계자와 구급차 서비스가 추가로 대기하고 있다.

Responding to the series of crimes, police and the Ministry of Justice declared that they would take strict countermeasures against serious crimes.
일련의 범죄에 대응하여, 경찰과 법무부는 중대한 범죄에 대해 엄정한 대응을 할 것이라고 선언했다.

Korean National Police Agency Commissioner General Yoon Hee-keun gave a statement to the nation at the agency's headquarters in Seoul, Friday, in which he declared "special policing against serious crimes until people's worries subside."

Yoon urged police officers to use firearms and stun guns against culprits at the scenes of stabbing rampages and said the police will track down and severely punish those who post threats online that preannounce copycat crimes.
윤씨는 경찰관들에게 흉기 난동 현장에서 범인들을 상대로 총기와 총을 사용할 것을 지시하고 경찰이 모방범죄를 사전에 공표하는 온라인상의 협박 글을 올리는 사람들을 추적하여 엄중히 처벌할 것이라고 말했다.

The justice ministry also announced, Friday, that it will consider introducing life imprisonment without parole for offenders of serious crimes.
법무부는 또한 금요일 심각한 범죄를 저지른 범죄자들에게 가석방 없는 종신형을 도입하는 것을 고려할 것이라고 발표했다.

Under the current law, people who serve prison terms over 20 years after receiving life sentences and model prisoners who serve over one-third of their terms are eligible to be released on parole.
현행법상 무기징역을 받고 20년 이상 복역한 사람과 형기의 3분의 1 이상 복역한 모범수는 가석방 자격이 있다.
