[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Two men in their 50s, ethnic Chinese residents of Korea, accused of murdering a man and a woman in Daerim-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, have been handed over to the prosecution.

The Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul announced on the 29th that it had sent two men, including Mr. A, an ethnic Chinese man in his 50s suspected of murder, to the prosecution on the 26th with a recommendation for indictment.

According to the police, Mr. A is accused of stabbing and killing a middle-aged man and woman with a weapon in an alley in Daerim-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, at around 8:10 p.m. on the 22nd.

Mr. A fled immediately after the crime but was apprehended in Guro-dong, Guro-gu. The two victims were found in cardiac arrest and were transported to the hospital while receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but they died.

It is reported that Mr. A told the police that he committed the crime because the victim, who was his former lover, rejected reconciliation and ignored him.

Earlier, on the 24th, Judge Moon Seong-gwan of the Seoul Southern District Court, who conducted the pre-trial detention hearing for Mr. A and Mr. B, issued an arrest warrant, citing concerns about flight risk and evidence tampering.
