Main Story
Police in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province, are investigating after three members of the same family were found dead in an apartment complex in the city’s Eungye district.
According to the Siheung Police Station, a report was received at 7:28 a.m. on the 12th about a teenage boy lying on the ground at the apartment complex. Officers who responded to the scene began checking the units in the building to identify the boy. During that process, they found one home with no response inside.
Police then contacted the father, who was at work in Seoul, and entered the apartment. Inside, they found the body of the mother in her 40s and the body of the family’s younger teenage son.
The report said multiple wounds were discovered on the mother and the younger son, with police believing the injuries may have been caused by a sharp weapon. At this point, investigators have not found signs that an outsider entered the home.
Because of that, police are looking into the possibility that the incident took place within the family. They plan to review apartment security camera footage, carry out a detailed scene examination, and speak with relatives to establish the exact circumstances of the deaths.
