[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] A daughter who stripped her elderly mother in her 70s of her clothes and drove her out of the house, leading to her death, has been arrested by the police for causing the incident due to the mother's odor.

The Jeonbuk Jeonju Wansan Police Station announced on the 10th that they have detained and are investigating a woman in her 40s, identified as A, on charges of abuse resulting in death of a dependent. A was found to have an intellectual disability.

A is accused of forcing her mother, B, out of their one-room apartment in Wansan-gu, Jeonju, around 7 p.m. on the 9th, resulting in B’s death from hypothermia.

At the time, B was found to have shivered in the cold for about an hour and 30 minutes in the parking lot of the one-room apartment.

A passerby near the one-room apartment discovered B and reported it to the police. B was transported to a hospital for treatment but ultimately passed away.

During the investigation, A reportedly stated that she made B wear only an outer garment and then forced her outside because B smelled due to not washing.

Based on medical opinions suggesting B’s death was caused by hypothermia, the police arrested A.

The police have requested an autopsy to determine the exact cause of B’s death and plan to apply for an arrest warrant for A once the results are available.
