[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] A man in his 30s who reported the death of his cohabiting girlfriend was found to have used drugs during a police investigation.

The Gwangju Western Police Station announced on the 22nd that they arrested A (38) on charges of using methamphetamine (violation of the Narcotics Control Act).

A is suspected of using methamphetamine at his apartment in Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, around 7:40 a.m. on the 20th.

A reported to the police after discovering that his cohabiting girlfriend had taken an extreme measure.

However, when he showed suspicious behavior such as inconsistent and incoherent statements, the police searched the house and found methamphetamine. A simple drug test confirmed the use of methamphetamine.
