On the 22nd, the Seoul Gwanak Police Station announced that they had sent a woman in her 30s, Um Mo, to the prosecution under arrest on charges of murder.

Earlier, Um is accused of wielding a weapon and killing the victim, Mr. A, at a pub located on the first floor of a building near Sillim Station in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, at around 2:10 p.m. on the 14th.

It is known that Um had an argument with Mr. A the day before the crime, claiming her wallet had gone missing. Mr. A was transported to a nearby hospital but ultimately passed away.

After arresting Um at the scene, the police applied for an arrest warrant on the 15th on charges of murder, and the court issued the warrant the next day, the 16th, citing concerns that she might flee.
