[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] A mother and daughter were found dead in a building in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, prompting the police to launch an investigation.


The Seodaemun Police Station in Seoul announced on the 25th that a mother and daughter were found dead in a building in Changcheon-dong, Seodaemun-gu on the morning of the 23rd.


On the same day, police and firefighters who responded to a report from the landlord confirmed that the mother and daughter were already deceased. A September electricity bill amounting to about 90,000 won, overdue for five months, was found attached to the front door, suggesting they were experiencing financial difficulties.
