Two Men in Their 50s Arrested for Giving Women Alcohol Mixed with Philopon
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Two men in their 50s who secretly gave women drinks laced with capsule-type methamphetamine at a bar were arrested by the police.
The Yeonggwang Police Station in Jeollanam-do announced on the 23rd that they have arrested and are investigating two individuals, A (59) and B (59), on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.
A and others are suspected of putting capsule-type methamphetamine into the drinks of three women drinking together at a bar in Yeonggwang-eup, Yeonggwang-gun, around December last year.
One of the suspects is known to be a local correspondent for a certain newspaper.
The women asked A and others, "My head hurts as if it will split the day after drinking; did you put drugs in the alcohol?" and after they partially admitted it, the women filed a complaint with the police.
A and others reportedly claim that they did not know the substance was a narcotic.
