A resident living in the same villa said in an interview with Yonhap News, "It seems the Chinese family moved in less than a month ago, so it is very shocking that such an incident happened."

Another resident who was out walking a dog said, "There is an elementary school right next to the building, and it is a really quiet and safe neighborhood, so who would be able to walk down this alley feeling scared?"

Earlier, at around 10 p.m. on the 20th, the police received a report saying "a friend’s safety is at risk," and upon arrival, they found the mother and daughter stabbed to death inside the villa. The deceased Ms. B was a naturalized Chinese citizen, and her mother Ms. C was a Chinese national.

The police plan to transfer Mr. A from Boryeong, Chungnam, and investigate the detailed circumstances and motive of the crime.
