Fled the Scene on a Motorcycle After the Crime
Apprehended After About Three Hours on the Run
A Chinese national accused of murdering the owner of a neighboring fruit and vegetable business has been arrested.
The Suwon Jungbu Police Station in Gyeonggi announced on the 10th that they have detained A, a man in his 40s of Chinese nationality, on suspicion of murder and are currently investigating.
A is accused of stabbing and killing B, a Korean man in his 60s, on the street in Jeongja-dong, Jangan-gu, Suwon City, at around 3:29 a.m. on the 7th. After the crime, A fled the scene on a motorcycle but was apprehended by the police about three hours later.
Investigations revealed that A and B were neighbors who operated fruit and vegetable stores about 40 meters apart for approximately 5 and 10 years, respectively. In police questioning, A stated that the motive for the crime was that he became angry after hearing B speak ill of the store he operated.
Since this statement is one-sided from A, the true circumstances of the case will only be known after the investigation is complete. The police obtained an arrest warrant for A from the court on the 9th and plan to conclude the investigation and send the case to the prosecution within this week.
