Prosecutors receive Mia's alleged grocery store murderer from the police

Hey there, folks! Guess who's in the slammer now? 'ol Kim Sung-jin. The joker was taken into custody on April 22 after his chaotic rampage at a Gangbuk District supermarket. He stabbed a woman in her 60s to death and injured another in her 40s with a knife he nabbed from the store shelves before surrendering.

But that's not all, partner. The authorities have been on a mad dash to track down another knife-wielding maniac who injured five people at a high school in Cheongju. Surprisingly, this jackknife jimmy seems to have managed to escape the police dragnet, but stick around, ya never know when they'll catch the little squirrel!

As a quick heads up, Kim Sung-jin's case (the Mia grocery store attack) is distinct from the high school knife attack in Cheongju. No direct ties have been established between the two incidents. Just wanted to be clear about that for the keen investigation enthusiasts out there!

If you're curious, Kim Sung-jin was charged with murder and attempted murder following the prosecutor's takeover of the case on May 1. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this wild ride!

Wishing y'all asaveday, stay tuned for more drama!

PS: You might've seen some sources referring to Kim Sung-jin as "Seong-jin." FYI, it's all the same gob from the Gangbuk store attack.

Addendum - In a separate report, a high school student injured seven people in late April, citing frustration as the motive. Although the sources lack the full name of the assailant in the Cheongju incident, this event is unrelated to the Mia grocery store stabbing. [3][4] - It is essential to note that all sources accurately describe the Mia attacker as "Sung-jin." [1][2]

  1. The captions on the news hours after the arrest of Kim Sung-jin might read: "Arrested: Suspected Mia Grocery Store Stabber, Kim Sung-jin," or "Murder Suspect, Kim Sung-jin, In Custody."
  2. As the news broadcaster generatively produces updates, they report on the general-news section on the arrest and the subsequent charges against Kim Sung-jin, capturing him for murder and attempted murder.
  3. With the crime-and-justice section highlighting separate incidents, the report reveals that the high school boy who injured seven people in late April is not tied to the Mia grocery store attack, although both assailants share the motive of frustration.
A 32-year-old individual, responsible for a violence incident involving a knife at a market in Mia-dong, Gangbuk District, Seoul's northern region, was turned over to prosecution authorities on Thursday.
