Investigators raid police investigation headquarters over alleged mishandling of Gwangju murder case

Prosecutors and police separately raided the national police investigation headquarters Tuesday as part of their probes into allegations of police mishandling of a high-profile murder case in the southwestern city of Gwangju, officials said. The investigators were seeking to seize evidence related to the murder investigation, which has faced growing controversy over allegations that police in Gwangju leaked investigative material to the suspect's father, who is also a police officer in the city.
