60s Man Arrested for Killing Former Colleague and Setting His Own House on Fire
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] A man in his 60s who killed a former coworker living next door and set fire to his own house has been detained.
Moon Kyung-hoon, the judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Northern District Court, conducted a pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant substantive examination) on Kim (62) on the 10th and issued an arrest warrant, citing "risk of flight."
Kim is accused of killing his former coworker Park (63) by repeatedly striking him with a blunt weapon on the first floor of a multi-family house in Mangwoo-dong, Jungnang-gu, Seoul, around 9 p.m. on the 8th, and then gathering blood-stained clothes at his adjacent residence and setting them on fire after pouring gasoline.
