Toxic Poison Detected in Blood of Employee Victim in 'Saengsubyeong Incident'... Also Found at Suspect's Residence

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Poison was detected in the blood of one of the employees who lost consciousness after drinking water from a bottled water bottle at a company office in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

According to the police on the 22nd, the National Forensic Service (NFS) notified the police in the afternoon that poison was detected in the blood of one of the two male and female employees who were victims, based on a preliminary opinion.

The poison is known to be the same type as that found at the home of employee A, who was found dead at his residence the day after the incident occurred on the 18th.

Although no poison was found in the bottled water that the two employees drank, the NFS is conducting an investigation while keeping open the possibility that the bottled water analyzed by the NFS may not have been the water the victims drank. It is also reported that the report was made only seven hours after the incident occurred, so the preservation of the scene was not properly maintained.

The police have booked A on suspicion of special injury and are conducting an investigation.

Digital forensics on A’s mobile phone have been completed, but no motive for the crime has been identified. The police have also applied for a warrant to track bank accounts.

Meanwhile, the police believe that the suspect is the same person in connection with employee B of the same company, who suffered similar damage two weeks before the incident, and A, who were roommates in company housing for about a year.

The substance detected in the beverage B drank at the time was identified as the same poison substance found at A’s house.
