On the 4th, the Mokpo Police Station in Jeonnam announced that they had applied for an arrest warrant for a man in his 60s, Mr. A, on suspicion of murder.

Mr. A is accused of stabbing his son in his 20s to death at his home in Sang-dong, Mokpo City, on the afternoon of the 1st (estimated).

He had conflicts with his son, who was unemployed and only focused on mobile phone games. In particular, tensions escalated after he gave money to replace the son's mobile phone with a new one, but found out that the money was used elsewhere.

Mr. A stayed at home neglecting his deceased son and reported to the police through an acquaintance on the 3rd, two days later, saying, "My son is not moving."

The police who arrived confirmed stab wounds on the body and urgently arrested Mr. A.

The police plan to transfer Mr. A after supplementary investigations once the arrest warrant is issued.
