[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] A father in his 40s has been arrested on charges of causing the death of his daughter in connection with the mother-daughter death incident that occurred in Naju, Jeonnam on the 11th.

According to the Naju Police Station in Jeonnam on the 14th, the father A (48), who was the first to report the mother-daughter death incident that occurred at an apartment in Hampyeong, Jeonnam on the 11th, was arrested on the 13th on charges including murder.

A is suspected of causing the death of his teenage daughter at his home in Naju between the night of the 10th and 5:30 a.m. on the 11th.

At around 5:30 a.m. on the 11th, A reported to the fire department that his wife in her 40s and daughter were dead.

At the time of discovery, the wife was found hanging, and the daughter was lying on the bed deceased, with no other external injuries found on their bodies.

To the police, A initially stated that he had fallen asleep drunk the previous night and woke up to find the two dead.

It is known that A later changed his statement to say that due to severe financial difficulties, the couple had previously attempted extreme measures but failed, and during a subsequent suicide attempt with his wife, the wife caused the death of the daughter.

The police believe that after causing the death of his daughter, A may have mixed alcohol with drugs, lost consciousness, and then regained it to make the report.

The police plan to investigate the exact cause of death of the daughter and wife through an autopsy.
