[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] A man in his 20s from Thailand who stabbed and killed his girlfriend of the same nationality with a weapon was caught by the police just one day after fleeing.


On the 9th, the Naju Police Station in Jeollanam-do announced that they had urgently arrested A (25), a Thai national, on suspicion of murder.


A is accused of stabbing his girlfriend, B (22), also Thai, multiple times with a weapon at a house in Ichang-dong, Naju-si, Jeollanam-do, around 2:20 p.m. on the 8th, causing her death.


A entered Korea in 2017, and last year, there was a police report filed due to him assaulting B.


A fled to Gwangju, where his home and workplace are located, but reportedly expressed his intention to surrender to the police early that morning.



The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident, including the motive for the crime.
