Tragedy During Chuseok: Woman in Her 50s Murders Septuagenarian Mother After Drinking a Bottle of Soju

A Chinese national daughter who fatally stabbed her septuagenarian mother with a weapon during the Chuseok holiday has been apprehended by the police.

The Gyeonggi Ansan Sangnok Police Station announced that it has arrested and is investigating a daughter in her 50s, surnamed A, on charges of patricide/matricide after she allegedly murdered her mother at around 1:00 AM.

A is suspected of swinging a weapon at her mother inside a multi-family housing unit in Sangnok-gu, Ansan, causing her death.

Immediately after the crime, she informed an acquaintance of her offense, and the acquaintance reported it to the police, leading to her arrest at the scene.

A's mother was transported to a nearby hospital while receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but she ultimately passed away.

Investigations revealed that A lived alone with her mother in this multi-family house and had consumed a bottle of soju prior to the crime.

She reportedly stated to the police that she committed the crime impulsively after getting into an argument with her mother—who returned home while she was sleeping after drinking—over issues such as everyday attitudes.

It was found that A and her mother are Chinese nationals of Korean descent.

The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the crime involving A.
