A man in his 30s who took his one-year-old daughter with him in an extreme act... His wife also found dead

A man in his 30s jumped from the rooftop of an apartment in Seoul while holding his one-year-old daughter.

The Nowon Police Station in Seoul received a report at 4:46 a.m. on the 3rd that the son had sent a message suggesting an extreme choice.

According to the police, Mr. A (33, male) jumped from the rooftop of a 15-story apartment building in Junggye-dong while holding his daughter (1, female).

Police who responded to the report found Mr. A’s wife, Mrs. B (37), stabbed to death with a weapon at their residence in the apartment.

Mr. A’s father reportedly contacted the police after receiving a message from his son saying, “If I have done something wrong, thank you.”

The police plan to conduct a forensic investigation at the scene and request an autopsy to determine the detailed circumstances of the incident.

A police official said, “We need to proceed with further investigation to clarify the details,” adding, “Since the suspected perpetrator is deceased, there is a possibility that the case will be closed due to lack of prosecution.”
