One Victim Dies in Gangbuk District Restaurant Stabbing; Police to Request Arrest Warrant Today

[The Financial News] One victim died in the restaurant stabbing incident that took place on the afternoon of the 26th in Gangbuk District, Seoul.
Seoul Gangbuk Police Station announced that one of the two victims died after being attacked with a weapon wielded by Mr. A, a man in his 60s, the previous day. The other victim underwent surgery but remains in critical condition.
Mr. A is accused of attacking the restaurant owners with a knife at an eatery in Suyu-dong.
Reportedly, he brandished the weapon after claiming he was not given a lottery ticket at this restaurant, which provides a 1,000-won lottery ticket to customers who order alcohol.
The police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for Mr. A as soon as the investigation is completed today.
A police official stated, "It is still difficult to confirm the exact weapon or specific circumstances," adding, "Since a dispute arose during the payment process, it cannot be definitively said that the crime was committed solely because the owner did not provide a lottery ticket."
