[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A woman in her 50s who set fire to the apartment of an ex-lover she had broken up with long ago while intoxicated is under police investigation.

According to the Bukbu Police Station in Busan on the 5th, at 8:24 p.m. on the 4th, a security guard at a Jugong apartment in Buk-gu reported smoke and flames.

The fire department arrived and quickly extinguished the fire. No one was inside the house, so there were no casualties, but the small room facing the hallway was completely burned, with damages estimated at around 6 million won.

According to the police, Ms. A visited the apartment of Mr. B, whom she had dated 5 years ago, but when he did not come despite waiting, she opened the window of the small room facing the hallway, took out some clothes, set them on fire, and threw them into the room.

About an hour after starting the fire, at around 9:30 p.m., Ms. A surrendered herself to the Bukbu Police Station.

Ms. A said, "I was drunk and thought of Mr. B (in his 50s), whom I broke up with 5 years ago, so I came to find him, but when he did not come in despite waiting, I got angry and set the fire."

The police received a statement saying, "She set the fire in a fit of anger, but after seeing the fire spread widely and the fire trucks and police arrive, she surrendered."
