Iksan Police Station in North Jeolla Province said on Sunday it would reinvestigate the murder of a taxi driver after claims that the police may have forced a confession from an innocent teenager.

The move came after claims made on SBS investigative program “Unanswered Question” on Saturday.

The 15-year-old delivery boy insisted during his trial that the police forced him to make a false statement, but he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

After the teen had spent three years behind bars, Gunsan Police Station said that it had caught the real criminal. Following his discharge from prison, the victim has been preparing to file a suit for damages.
