'Arrest Warrant Requested for 60-Year-Old Man in Gangnam Officetel Mother-Daughter Murder'

The police have requested an arrest warrant for a man in his 60s suspected of murdering a mother and daughter in an officetel in Gangnam, Seoul.

On the afternoon of the 1st, the Suseo Police Station in Seoul announced that they had applied for an arrest warrant for a man in his 60s, identified as Mr. A, on charges of murder.

Mr. A is accused of stabbing a woman in her 60s, Ms. B, and her daughter with a weapon around 7 p.m. on the 30th of last month at an officetel in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, and then fleeing by taxi. The mother and daughter were transported to the hospital in a state of cardiac arrest but ultimately passed away.

Based on closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, the police identified Mr. A's appearance and movements, narrowing down their investigation. On the morning of the 31st, approximately 13 hours after the crime, Mr. A was urgently arrested near Namtaeryeong Station at around 7:45 a.m.
