Woman in Her 50s of Chinese Nationality Arrested for Murdering Elderly Mother During Chuseok Holiday

A woman in her 50s of Chinese nationality has been arrested on charges of murdering her elderly mother in her 70s with a weapon during the Chuseok holiday.

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

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

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

Right after the crime, A informed an acquaintance, and police dispatched following a report from the acquaintance arrested her at the scene as a criminal caught in the act.

Investigations showed that both A and her mother are of Chinese nationality (Ethnic Koreans from China) and lived together alone in the housing unit.

It was reported that during police questioning, A stated that she committed the crime impulsively while arguing with her mother.

The police plan to hand A over to the prosecution after conducting a supplementary investigation into the detailed circumstances of the crime.
