A man in his 30s who killed his father in his 70s with a blunt weapon at a multi-family house in Yeokchon-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, was arrested by the police.
On the 1st, the Seoul Western Police Station announced that they had urgently arrested Mr. A on the previous afternoon on suspicion of parricide. Mr. A is accused of using a blunt weapon to kill his father at his home on the 27th of last month.
