40s Chinese Man Arrested for Killing Pedestrian with Road Curb Stone... "Risk of Escape"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A man in his 40s from China, who assaulted strangers and caused the death of one of them, has been detained.

On the 13th, Kwon Ki-man, the judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Southern District Court, conducted a pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant review) for Mr. A, who is accused of robbery and murder, and issued an arrest warrant, stating there is a risk of flight.

Mr. A is accused of repeatedly kicking the face of a man in his 60s in front of a park in Guro-gu, Seoul, around 6 a.m. on the 11th, and beating him to death with a broken road curb stone nearby. It was confirmed that Mr. A also took valuables possessed by the victim.

While fleeing, he also assaulted an elderly man who was pulling a cart and collecting scrap nearby. The police arrested Mr. A in the act and conducted a rapid drug test, which showed a positive reaction for methamphetamine. They requested a detailed analysis from the National Forensic Service (NFS). However, since the NFS's detailed test results have not yet been released, the police did not apply drug-related charges.
