South Korean police have admitted using violence to extract a false confession from a man who spent 20 years in prison for the rape and murder of a 13-year-old.
Yoon -- whose full name is not being published due to a South Korean law that protects the privacy of suspects and criminals -- was the only person ever convicted of the so-called Hwaseong murders, one of South Korea's most infamous serial killing cases. He was released in 2008 after spending 20 years in prison for the rape and murder of a 13-year-old in 1988, with police suspecting that the case was a copycat killing.
Kim Chil-joon, an attorney who defended other Hwaseong suspects, has previously told CNN that many people were abused during the investigation.Bae said seven police officers and a prosecutor involved in the initial investigation into Yoon had been formally investigated for abuse of power and unlawful detention. Under South Korean law, the statute of limitations has run out on the cases, meaning those officers cannot be indicted on any charges.
