[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Last summer, a man in his 20s who stayed at a hotel in Busan died from a mysterious fall. The culprit revealed after about four months was his friend.


A man in his 20s, identified as A, who is accused of pushing his friend, who was staying with him on the 9th floor of the hotel, out of the window causing his death, was arrested on the 31st.


According to the Busan Dongbu Police Station on the 31st, A is suspected of causing the death of his friend B by pushing him out of the window on the 9th floor of a hotel in Dong-gu, Busan, on August 12.


The police secured evidence such as the disordered and damaged scene, the injuries of the suspect and the victim, hotel entry records, and nearby CCTV footage, and arrested A on charges of assault leading to death.


The police believe that during an argument, A pushed the victim out of the window.


Although the arrested A denied the charges and exercised his right to remain silent during the investigation, the Busan District Court issued an arrest warrant on the same day.


According to the police, immediately after the victim fell, A was found intoxicated in the hotel corridor on the 2nd floor with bloodstains on his clothes. Inside the hotel room, liquor bottles and other items were scattered messily.



The police plan to transfer A to the prosecution next week.
