Two people in their 20s and a person in their 50s arrested and indicted for drug use at a motel in Jinju

Recently, a man in his 50s who used drugs with two women in their 20s at a motel in Jinju, Gyeongnam, has been brought to trial.

According to the Criminal Division 2 of the Jinju Branch of the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office in Gyeongnam on the 8th, Mr. A, in his 50s, was arrested and indicted last month on charges of using drugs together with women B and C, both in their 20s, at a motel in Jinju.

At the time, Ms. B reported to 119 after Ms. C, who had fallen asleep following drug use the previous day, did not wake up, and the responding paramedics confirmed Ms. C's death.

The police urgently arrested Ms. B on-site on charges of methamphetamine use and later sent her to prosecution without detention after investigation.

Mr. A, who was not present at the scene when the death was confirmed, was urgently arrested near the motel around 8 p.m. that day and detained.

Investigation revealed that Mr. A is a habitual drug offender with a total of eight prior drug-related convictions, who distributed drugs to his cohabiting partner and other women nearby and had sexual relations with them.

The prosecution is conducting additional investigations into Mr. A, confirming charges of drug use, distribution, and possession, and is investigating whether there are further crimes.

The National Forensic Service has been requested to perform an autopsy on the deceased Ms. C to accurately analyze the cause of death, and once the autopsy results are available, the investigation will determine Mr. A's responsibility for Ms. C's death.
