[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] A 50-year-old Chinese national of Korean descent, Mr. A, who is accused of murdering his son-in-law, was arrested on the 24th.

Shin Yong-moo, the chief judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Eastern District Court, issued the arrest warrant after conducting a pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant substantive examination) for Mr. A on the same day. Judge Shin stated the reason as "there is a risk of flight."

Mr. A is accused of killing his son-in-law, Mr. B, who is also a Chinese national, by wielding a weapon during an argument on the night of the 21st at a row house in Jayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu. The police apprehended Mr. A around 9 a.m. on the 22nd in Chilgok-gun, Gyeongbuk, the hometown of Mr. A's grandparents, and transported him to Seoul.

During the police investigation, Mr. A reportedly stated that he argued with his son-in-law over money. However, regarding the murder charge, he said he "does not remember."
