[Asia Economy Culture Young Intern Reporter] Three women, believed to be from the same family, were found dead in a house in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

According to the Suwon Southern Police Station on the 21st, at around 2:50 PM, a report was received from a manager of a multi-family housing building in Gwonseon-gu stating that "a foul odor is coming from the locked room of a tenant."

Police and fire authorities who responded to the report forcibly opened the door and entered, discovering three decomposed female bodies inside the room. The house was known to be the residence of a woman in her 60s, Ms. A, and her two daughters.

The police stated that due to the severe decomposition, it is difficult to identify the bodies, but they are presumed to be the tenant Ms. A and her two daughters. Considering that the three women had been experiencing health problems and financial difficulties, and there were no signs of external intrusion, the police believe it was a case of suicide and have requested an autopsy from the National Forensic Service.

A police official said, "Although there are no signs of intrusion, we will keep all possibilities open during the investigation," adding, "It will only be possible to determine when and how they died after the autopsy results are available."
