On the 27th, the Gwanak Police Station in Seoul announced that they had applied for an arrest warrant the previous day for Mr. A, a man in his 50s, on charges of killing a direct ascendant.

At around 1:10 p.m. on the 25th, the police received a report from Mr. A’s brother that "the mother has collapsed," and, together with the fire department, they rushed to the scene and urgently arrested Mr. A. At the time of the response, the mother, Ms. B, was already deceased.

According to the preliminary verbal autopsy report from the National Forensic Service (NFS), the cause of death was "chest injury caused by external force." The police have requested a full autopsy from the NFS to determine the exact time and cause of Ms. B’s death. The police believe that Ms. B died due to Mr. A’s assault and that the time of death was several days before the report was made.

The police are investigating the reason why Ms. B visited her son Mr. A’s residence, where he lives separately, but it is reported that Mr. A has been reluctant to speak.
