A 48-year-old teacher at the young girl’s school reportedly lured her into a room after she was the last to leave class.
The adult, who has not been named, admitted to killing her student in a frenzied attack.
This killer teacher was hospitalised with self-inflicted stab wounds to her neck and arm, per The Times.
The teacher told police: “I got annoyed just three days after returning to work.”
She had been off work for three weeks in December with depression.
The teacher reportedly told police she bought a knife from a local shop earlier on Monday.
She then came back to the school and saw Ha-neul when she was about to leave an after-school class.
The teacher described why she chose to stab the 7-year-old to death.
She told cops: “I didn’t care who [it was].
“[I chose] the last student to leave the after-school programme, to die together.
“I said I had a book to give her and took the student into the audiovisual room. Then I strangled and stabbed her.”
The killer teacher had showed some worrying signs following several outbursts after returning to work.
Earlier on the fatal day, she damaged a computer in a violent blowup over slow internet speeds.
Several days before this, she twisted the arm of a fellow teacher who asked how she was.
Ha-neul and the teacher were discovered by the 7-year-old’s grandmother in the classroom where the horror attack happened.
The young girl’s father, 38, said he tracked her location using an app that traced her phone, and raised the alarm after she did not get on a school bus home.
Her dad said: “I checked the app to see what was going on but I couldn’t hear her voice.
“All I could hear was heavy panting, like an old woman sprinting 100 metres, the sounds of cabinets opening and closing and a zipper being undone.”
Children, teachers, and locals left heartbreaking tributes outside the tragic school on Tuesday.
Her heartbroken dad shared touching words about her young daughter.
He said: “Ha-neul was always so thoughtful. She cheered us on … She got along well with her friends, took care of her younger sibling and never caused any trouble.
“Ha-neul, who was smiling brightly … just yesterday morning, became a star in the sky last night.
“An unthinkable tragedy happened at school — the very place that should be the safest. No other tragedy like hers must be allowed to take place.”
