Tragic Family Story During Chuseok Holiday... Mother and Daughter Found Dead in Villa

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] During the Chuseok holiday, a mother and daughter were found dead in a villa in Busan, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

According to the Busan Jin-gu Police Station on the 13th, around 12:49 PM on the 12th, a woman in her 40s, Ms. A, and her teenage daughter, Ms. B, were found dead in a villa in Yangjeong-dong.

According to the police, Mr. C, the son of Ms. A, who had come out of another room after sleeping, discovered his mother and sister collapsed and asked a neighbor for help before reporting to the police.

A weapon was found in the living room where Ms. A was discovered, and her body showed stab wounds. Ms. B was found dead in a room with bruises on her face and other areas.

So far, there is no evidence of external intrusion.

Ms. A had divorced her husband last year and, without a job, was raising her children alone under difficult circumstances. She had appealed to the district office for help and was registered as a basic livelihood security recipient in July.

At the time of the incident, Ms. A was intoxicated, and no suicide note was found.

A police official stated, "It is presumed that the mother killed her daughter and then took her own life, but the possibility of homicide cannot be completely ruled out. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death of both individuals, and the circumstances of the case are being investigated through family statements and forensic analysis."
