Police have launched an investigation after an elderly woman in her 80s living alone was found dead with stab wounds inside her home in Bonghwa, North Gyeongsang Province.

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency and firefighting authorities stated that an 80-something woman, identified as A, was found dead by a neighbor at a residence in Myeongho-myeon, Bonghwa-gun, at around 8:15 a.m. today (October 16).
