[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The police have decided to apply for an arrest warrant for the father in his 40s who reported the case related to the mother and daughter deaths that occurred in Naju, Jeonnam on the 11th.

According to the Jeonnam Police Agency on the 12th, the police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for the husband, A (48), on suspicion of murder.

A is suspected of causing the death of his teenage daughter who was sleeping at their home in Naju between the night of the 10th and 5:30 a.m. on the 11th.

At around 5:30 a.m. on the 11th, A reported to the fire department that his wife in her 40s and daughter were found dead.

At the time of discovery, the wife was found hanging by the neck, and the daughter was lying dead on the bed.

A is known to have stated that he fell asleep drunk the previous night and woke up to find the two deceased.

In the initial investigation, the police found no significant external injuries on the bodies of the two, but paid close attention to the fact that the daughter died of suffocation. They also confirmed circumstances indicating that the couple had experienced financial difficulties and had previously attempted extreme measures.

The police are investigating the possibility that A mixed alcohol with drugs after causing his daughter's death, lost consciousness, and then woke up to report the incident.
