Chinese Man Murdered at Jeju Hotel... Four Chinese Nationals Urgently Arrested
Jeju Western Police Investigates Four Chinese Suspects
Report Filed After Acquaintance Who Went to Buy Cryptocurrency Could Not Be Reached
Amid a murder case involving a Chinese national in a hotel in Jeju City, the police have apprehended four Chinese suspects and are investigating the motive behind the crime. The police are currently investigating the possibility that the crime occurred during a cryptocurrency exchange transaction.
The Jeju Western Police Station announced on the 25th that they are questioning four Chinese nationals?two women in their 30s, one man in his 30s, and one man in his 60s?on suspicion of murder.
They are accused of killing a Chinese man in his 30s, Mr. A, in a deluxe hotel room in Jeju City on the afternoon of the 24th. Mr. A was found by police who responded to a report from an acquaintance at around 5:10 p.m. on the 24th.
The acquaintance reported to 112, saying, "My friend who went to buy cryptocurrency is unreachable, which is strange. Something seems wrong." When the police found Mr. A, he was stabbed and bleeding, already deceased.
About five minutes after the report, at 5:15 p.m., one of the suspects, a woman in her 30s, surrendered herself at the Seongsan Police Substation in Seogwipo City, Jeju. Subsequently, two accomplices?a Chinese man and woman in their 30s?were caught by police at Jeju International Airport while attempting to leave the country. Additionally, a Chinese man in his 60s was urgently arrested at the hotel casino.
The police confirmed that these four suspects fled with 85 million won belonging to the victim, Mr. A, and are investigating the exact motive and circumstances of the crime.
