[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A woman in her 60s who killed her daughter with a weapon surrendered to the police.

Seoul Gangseo Police Station announced on the 3rd that they have arrested and are investigating a woman in her 60s, identified as A, on suspicion of murdering her daughter, with whom she lived.

According to the police, A is accused of stabbing her daughter, who was in her 30s, with a weapon at an apartment in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, around 1 a.m. that day. It is known that only the two of them were at home at the time of the crime.

A surrendered to the police immediately after the crime and was arrested on the spot. The daughter was promptly transported to a nearby hospital but died about an hour later.

After being arrested, A reportedly admitted to the crime, stating that "it was difficult because the daughter had been suffering from a mental illness for a long time."

A police official said, "We are still investigating the motive for the crime, so we cannot confirm the details of the statement."

The police plan to verify specific facts, such as whether the deceased daughter actually had a history of mental illness, before deciding whether to request an arrest warrant for A.
