Seoul Dongdaemun Police requested assistance from Gangneung Police in the investigation, after tracking the driving route via the location-tracking service on victim’s cell phone.

The suspect was stopped on the road, but refused to answer and fled.

During the chase, Kim smashed his car into a guardrail and hid in a thicket. Police caught Kim 15 minutes later, at around 3:35 a.m. Wednesday.

The victim reportedly suffered a head injury from the car accident and was taken to a hospital. During the investigation, Kim told police he committed the crime as he couldn’t let her go after the breakup.
