[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] On the 31st, brothers accused of stabbing and killing their biological grandmother, who raised them for nine years, dozens of times for "nagging," were arrested. Neighbors reported that the brothers often yelled at and got angry with their grandmother.

The Daegu District Court Western Branch (Chief Judge Heo Younggu) issued arrest warrants for A (18) and his younger brother B (16), who are charged with killing a family member, stating, "There is a risk of flight and evidence destruction, and there are unavoidable reasons to detain them as juveniles."

According to neighbors, the brothers frequently raised their voices and argued with their grandmother.

In a media interview on the 31st, neighbor C said, "The boy often raised his voice at the grandmother," adding, "He couldn't control his anger and frequently yelled at her."

Another neighbor, D, said, "When the grandmother said something, the grandson would 'agh' and rush at her," adding, "If you were here, you could hear all those sounds."

According to the Daegu Western Police Station, A is accused of stabbing his grandmother dozens of times in the face, head, and shoulders with a weapon at their home in Bisan-dong around 12:10 a.m. on the 30th.

The grandmother was taken to the hospital but suffered severe injuries to her head, face, and arms and eventually died. The police believe that the younger brother B also participated in the crime. During the investigation, the brothers stated that they committed the crime because "the grandmother nagged a lot and made us run errands, which annoyed us."

The brothers' biological grandfather was also at home during the incident. The police responded to a report from the grandfather saying, "The grandson stabbed his wife multiple times with a weapon and prevented me from going near her," and arrested the brothers.

The brothers have been raised by their grandparents since August 2012 after losing contact with their parents. Both the grandmother and grandfather are understood to have physical disabilities.
