Police lines are set up inside a house visible through the main gate.

This is the home of the couple in their 60s who were found dead with their hands and feet bound at around 7:50 p.m. yesterday in Wanggok-myeon, Naju.

Initial medical findings showed that the husband had multiple stab wounds, while the wife is presumed to have died of asphyxiation.

Police, who set out to track the suspect, urgently arrested a man in their 50s at around 2:40 p.m. today at the entrance of an apartment complex in Muan County.

Village CCTV footage captured the man riding a bicycle to the victims' home on the night of October 5, and fleeing about two hours later with his bicycle loaded onto the victim's truck.

After abandoning the truck—with its black box removed—near Juksambo, the man continued his flight by riding the bicycle again.

The man, upon being apprehended by police, reportedly stated that he committed the crime because he needed money.

It was revealed that the man, who was normally acquainted with the victimized couple, withdrew 6 million won in cash using the victim's card immediately after the crime.

Police announced that they have formed a dedicated investigation team consisting of four detective units to rigorously investigate the specific details and motives of the crime.
