A man in his 20s who was found to have killed his girlfriend, with whom he lived with a blunt object, was taken into custody and handed over to trial. The Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office announced on the 15th that Mr. A, a man in his 20s suspected of murder, was arrested and indicted on the 14th. Mr. A is accused of assaulting Mr. A with a blunt object several times to her death during an argument with his 20-year-old girlfriend, Mr. B, who was living with him at a house in Gangseo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 20th. After being arrested as a red-light criminal, an arrest warrant was applied for on murder charges the next day. After examining the warrant on the 22nd, the Seoul Southern District Court issued an arrest warrant, saying, “There is a risk of flight.” During the police investigation, Mr. A stated, “I admit to assault, but I did not intend to kill.” However, the police applied murder charges based on the circumstances of the crime and the severity of the assault and sent it to trial. It was found that Mr. A had no history of stalking and was not drunk at the time of the crime. [Seoul = Newsis]
