A middle school nephew who stabbed his aunt in her 40s with a weapon was arrested by the police.
The Yongsan Police Station in Seoul announced on the 27th that they have detained and are investigating A (13) on suspicion of murder.
According to the police, A is accused of wielding a weapon against his aunt B, who lived with him, at a villa in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, around 7:30 PM that day, because she prevented him from playing games.
B sustained serious injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital but ultimately passed away.
According to residents, after A's father suddenly died several years ago, Aunt B and A's grandfather took care of A and his siblings in the same household.
One resident mentioned that A and his siblings have developmental disabilities.
A police official stated, "Since A is a criminal minor under the age of 14, they plan to release him from custody and investigate the specific motive."
