Mr. A is accused of indiscriminately assaulting fellow crew member Mr. C for about two months since last March using a metal rod, a Phillips screwdriver, and other objects. In particular, he repeatedly assaulted Mr. C by spraying seawater at him using a donkey hose (a hose that uses seawater to clean catches and vessels), which led to Mr. C’s death.

After urgently arresting Mr. A on suspicion of murder and investigating, the Mokpo Maritime Police confirmed that Mr. A started working with Mr. C in March, but committed the crime due to dissatisfaction with Mr. C’s poor work performance.

Seo Nam-su, head of the investigation division at Mokpo Maritime Police Station, stated, “Considering the circumstances of Mr. A’s assault, the methods and repetition of the attacks, and witness statements, we determined there was intent to kill and applied charges of murder and corpse disposal against Mr. A, and corpse disposal charges against Mr. B.”
