[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The police have identified a prime suspect in the case where a mother and daughter were found dead in a villa in Busan on the last day of the Chuseok holiday (reported in our internet edition on September 13, 2022) and are investigating.

According to the Busanjin Police Station on the 18th, suspect A was booked on charges of murder on September 18, six days after the incident occurred.

The police identified A as the prime suspect and, after changing his status to suspect, are concentrating their investigative efforts to find evidence to prove A’s guilt.

A is presumed to be an acquaintance and is known to be denying the related charges.

The final autopsy revealed that the main cause of death for the mother and daughter was asphyxiation, and traces of sleeping pills were also detected. The sleeping pill component was also found in the only surviving son.

A fire also broke out once on the day of the incident, but it was determined to be unrelated to the case.

Earlier, on the last day of the Chuseok holiday, September 12, at around 12:49 p.m., the mother in her 40s, B, and her teenage daughter, C, were found dead in a villa in Busanjin-gu, Busan.

In the early stages of the investigation, the police focused on homicide as B’s jewelry was missing and C’s mobile phone was found outside the house.

A weapon was found in the living room where B was found dead, and B’s body showed signs of being stabbed with the weapon. C was found dead in a room and was confirmed to have bruises on her face and other areas.

The son, D, who was sleeping in another room at the time, discovered his mother B and sister C collapsed and reported the incident to the police with the help of neighbors.
