The police have decided to disclose the identity of a suspect in a brutal murder that took place in Gangseo district in Seoul last week. 

The Gangseo Police Station on Sunday held a meeting to decide whether to disclose the suspect's personal information including his name and age, eventually deciding to make it public.

The 29-year-old suspect, Kim Seong-soo, is suspected of stabbing a part-time worker at an internet cafe dozens of times last Sunday. 

Kim will be transferred on Monday to the National Forensic Psychiatry Hospital in South Chungcheong Province to receive a psychiatric evaluation. 

The suspect reportedly claimed that he has taken antidepressants for years.
