[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] A man in his 20s was arrested by the police on suspicion of killing his girlfriend by wielding a weapon he had prepared in the bathroom of a one-room apartment after she informed him of their breakup. It was revealed that the girlfriend's mother was also present in the house at the time.

The Cheonan Seobuk Police Station in Chungnam announced on the 13th that they had apprehended and were investigating Mr. A (27) on suspicion of stabbing his girlfriend to death.

Mr. A is accused of going to a one-room villa in Seongjeong-dong, Seobuk-gu, Cheonan, Chungnam, where his girlfriend Ms. B (27) lived, at around 9:40 p.m. on the 12th and killing her by wielding a weapon. Ms. B was taken to the hospital for treatment but died.

At the time, Ms. B's mother, who had come from her hometown the day before to see her daughter, was also at the house. After entering the one-room apartment, Mr. A said, "Since your mother is here, let's talk in the bathroom," and took Ms. B into the bathroom, locking the door. He then stabbed Ms. B multiple times in the abdomen and other areas with the weapon he had prepared in advance.

When Ms. B's mother heard her daughter's screams and tried to open the bathroom door by knocking, Mr. A opened the door, pushed the mother aside, and fled. Ms. B's mother immediately called 119 after finding her daughter collapsed and bleeding. Ms. B was transported to the hospital but ultimately passed away.

The police, who responded to the report, tracked CCTV footage around the crime scene and arrested Mr. A urgently 3 hours and 40 minutes after the crime.

During the police investigation, Mr. A stated, "Ms. B recently told me she wanted to break up, so I went to try to change her mind, but she said to break up again, and we argued before the crime happened." It was found that Mr. A and Ms. B had been dating for about three months.

The police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges of murder.
