SEOUL - Seoul’s mayor vowed on Wednesday to increase the number of surveillance cameras in city parks following the brutal rape and murder of a teacher on a busy hiking trail last week.

The crime has shocked South Korea and sparked outraged calls for a councilman in the district, who announced last year on YouTube he was cutting the area’s “women’s safety” budget, to resign. Suspects’ identities are not typically made public in South Korea, but police said on Wednesday they had decided to identify the man “in consideration of public interest, such as people’s anxiety over repeated crimes”, Yonhap reported.

Seoul mayor Oh Se-hoon said on Wednesday that the city would increase the number of surveillance cameras in parks and on hiking trails across the capital to reduce “crime blind spots”.
