A police line is set up inside a house visible through the main gate.

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

Initial findings showed multiple stab wounds on the husband and indicated that the wife is presumed to have died of suffocation.

Police, who set out to track the suspect, urgently arrested a man in his 50s at around 2:40 PM today near the entrance of an apartment complex in Muan-gun.

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

After abandoning the truck with its dashcam removed near Juksan Bridge, the man continued his flight by riding a bicycle again.

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

It was revealed that the man, who was a regular acquaintance of the victim couple, withdrew 6 million won in cash using the victim's card immediately after the crime.

Police stated that they have formed a dedicated investigation team consisting of four detective squads to strictly investigate the specific details and motives of the crime.
