Yongsan Police Station in Seoul said on the 10th that it had arrested and was questioning a man in his 30s, identified as Suspect A, on suspicion of fatal assault.
Police made an emergency arrest based on the suspicion of fatal assault, but are continuing to investigate while not ruling out applying a charge of fatal injury.
Suspect A is accused of assaulting and killing Victim B, a man in his 50s, at a bar in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul, the previous day.
Victim B was found collapsed at around 6:47 a.m. that day by a bar employee. Emergency responders dispatched after the employee’s report confirmed that B had already died and then referred the case to police.
After tracking him down, police emergency-arrested Suspect A at around 10 a.m. that day. They are also investigating the relationship between A and B. Because A’s statements have been inconsistent, further investigation is needed to determine their exact relationship.
A police official said, "The victim’s exact cause of death will be determined through an autopsy."
