[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] A former executive at a Saemaeul Geumgo in Dong-gu, Daegu, wielded a weapon against three employees, resulting in two deaths and one injury.

According to the Daegu Metropolitan Police Agency on the 24th, at around 11:20 a.m. that day, former executive A (60) stabbed three employees, including B (48) and C (39, female), with a weapon he had prepared in advance at the Saemaeul Geumgo office in Dong-gu.

B died at the scene, and C was urgently transported to a nearby hospital by a 119 ambulance but eventually passed away while receiving treatment. The remaining employee sustained minor injuries while escaping the scene when A wielded the weapon. At the time of the incident, there were only four employees at the Saemaeul Geumgo, and no customers were present.

A was urgently arrested by the police who responded after a Saemaeul Geumgo employee reported the incident. He drank pesticide after the crime, but it is known that his life is not in danger.

Based on statements from Saemaeul Geumgo officials that A had a poor relationship with employees during his tenure, the police suspect the crime was motivated by a grudge and are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.
