In relation to the ‘Marine Corps Corporal Chae‘s death in the line of duty incident’, former Marine Corps 1st Division commander Lim Seong-geun, who was accused of manslaughter due to occupational negligence, returned home after receiving an intense police investigation that lasted over 22 hours.
After completing the investigation at the 1st mobile unit of the Gyeongbuk Police Agency in Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do on the morning of the 14th, former division commander Lim told reporters, “As I had previously promised to the parents of the late Corporal Chae, I participated truthfully and sincerely in the police investigation without lying in order to uncover the exact truth. “He said.
Despite reporters’ questions to former division commander Lim, such as “Why did you change your position after initially saying you would take responsibility for everything?” and “whether he denied the charge of manslaughter due to occupational negligence,” he remained silent and left in a waiting car.
Former division commander Lim, who arrived at the 1st mobile unit of the Gyeongbuk Police Agency at around 9 a.m. on the 13th, the previous day, to be summoned for questioning, was questioned until 3:30 a.m. on the 14th, more than a day later. Afterwards, former division commander Lim read the statement report for about four hours.
The Gyeongbuk Police Agency summoned former division commander Lim, who was accused of professional negligence causing death, as a suspect and investigated him.
Regarding the summons of former division commander Lim, the police said that it was based on a complaint by lawyer Kim Kyung-ho in August of last year.
Attorney Kim claims, “Although subordinates’ KakaoTalk messages and recordings clearly exist, it is not right for former division commander Lim to claim that these are ‘false.’”
However, former division commander Lim refuted this to reporters before appearing at the police the previous day, saying, “Regarding the incident of Corporal Chae’s death in the line of duty, I did not give an underwater search order to the Marine Corps that went to the search site at the time.”
He is said to have actively participated in the police investigation, repeating his previous position that “I never ordered an underwater search.”
In a police investigation, the Marine Corps battalion commander stated, “I followed orders,” and the brigade commander claimed, “I gave instructions to my subordinates because the division commander told me to.” However, former division commander Lim maintains the position that “the operation was ordered through consultation between the brigade commander and the Army 50th Division, which was the overall headquarters for the search operation at the time.”
Regarding the investigation, the police stayed up all night conducting the investigation as it was the first subpoena investigation into the Marine Corps’ highest command regarding the death of Corporal Chae.
Former division commander Lim ate lunch and dinner in the office, and it is said that he ordered a packed lunch for lunch and Chinese food for dinner.
Earlier on this morning, former division commander Lim arrived at the 1st Task Force of the Gyeongbuk Police Agency in Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, wearing a military uniform and holding a briefcase in one hand, and said, “There have been various false and unverified facts and claims rampant,” and “Through this investigation, we have uncovered them one by one.” “We will actively cooperate with the police investigation so that it can be revealed.”
A police official who completed the investigation said, “We will review the report immediately and schedule the next investigation based on the review results.” He added, “As a result of the review, there may be additional investigation of other suspects and witnesses.”
