The Criminal Division 2 of the Western Branch of the Busan District Prosecutors' Office announced on the 29th that they have applied murder charges and arrested the mother and son suspects who stabbed and killed a couple in their 50s in a residential parking lot.

Earlier, the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency had sent Mr. A, who stabbed the victim couple with a weapon, to the prosecution on murder charges, and Ms. B, who watched nearby, on charges of aiding and abetting murder. The prosecution regarded Ms. B as an accomplice and indicted her on murder charges.

During this process, a scuffle broke out, and an enraged Mr. A brought a weapon from home and committed the crime.
