Woman in Her 50s Arrested on Scene for Allegedly Killing Mother During Chuseok Holiday

A woman in her 50s of Chinese nationality has been taken into custody on charges of using a weapon to kill her elderly mother in her 70s during the Chuseok holiday.

The Ansan Branch of the Suwon District Court issued an arrest warrant yesterday (September 27) following a pre-arrest interrogation (warrant review) for the woman in her 50s, identified as A, who faces charges of patricide.

The court cited the risk of flight as the reason for issuing the warrant.

Previously, A was accused of wielding a weapon against her mother in her 70s, with whom she lived, at a multi-family housing unit in Sangnok-gu, Ansan, at around 1:00 a.m. the day before yesterday, causing her death.

Right after the crime, A informed an acquaintance, and police were dispatched following a report from the acquaintance, arresting her at the scene.

Investigations revealed that both A and her mother are of Chinese nationality (ethnic Koreans from China) and lived together alone in the residence.

A reportedly stated during police questioning that she committed the crime impulsively during an argument with her mother.

Police plan to conduct further investigations into the detained suspect regarding the exact details of the crime before transferring her to the prosecution.
