A tragic incident unfolded on Monday at an elementary school in Daejeon, South Korea, where a 7-year-old girl was found with fatal stab wounds. Her grandmother discovered her with injuries to the neck and face, and the child was in cardiac arrest upon discovery. Despite efforts to save her life, she later succumbed to her injuries in the hospital.
The suspect is a female teacher who worked at the same school. According to police reports, the teacher had not established any personal relationship with the young victim. Following the incident, she was hospitalized with self-inflicted wounds but had not been arrested as investigations continued.
Authorities revealed that the teacher had previously taken a leave of absence for medical reasons. However, she returned to her teaching duties prematurely late last year. The circumstances surrounding her return and its potential impact on this incident are subjects of ongoing investigation by the police.
The incident has prompted serious concern across the nation. Acting President Choi Sang-mok expressed his deep condolences to the family of the deceased child. President Choi has also instructed the education ministry and relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
As details continue to emerge, the community remains in shock over the tragic loss of such a young life. The school and local authorities are working closely with law enforcement to piece together the events leading up to this unfortunate incident.
