This morning (22nd), a report was received by the police that a stabbing incident occurred in the parking area of ​​this villa.

The person who wielded the weapon was Sim Mo, a man in his 70s who lives on the first floor.

The victim, a neighbor in his 50s from the same villa, died following being taken to the hospital in a state of cardiac arrest.

There are still bloodstains in front of the villa.

Mr. Sim, who lived on the first floor of the villa, brought a Japanese sword over 70 cm long and swung it at his neighbor on the fourth floor.

The reason for the gruesome sword fight was a parking dispute.

After being caught by the police, Shim said that the victim parked the truck in front of his house on the first floor and had a conflict over fumes.

[이웃주민/음성변조 : “(피의자가) 트럭 운전하시는 분이고 피해자도 트럭 하시는 분이에요. 풀어지지 않은 그런 앙금이 있었나봐요.”]

Shim is a person who has been introduced to the media several times as an ‘aged martial artist’.

In 2015, he was also permitted to possess swords.

[이웃주민/음성변조 : “집에 들어가면 칼을 이렇게 벽에다가…차에 보면 칼집이 있을거에요. 좌석에 보면.”]

The police investigated the nearby CCTV to confirm the details of the crime, but just before the incident occurred, the power line was unplugged.

[이웃주민/음성변조 : “(CCTV가) 없어요. 5시 몇 분에 CCTV 코드가 빠져있었다 그러더라고. 새벽에.”]

Police are investigating the possibility that Sim planned the crime in advance and turned off the CCTV.

In addition, an arrest warrant was requested for Shim on charges of murder.
