The Coast Guard has applied for an arrest warrant for a man who was in the vehicle on a murder charge.
The man’s housemate, who until recently had been the owner of the accident vehicle, was also arrested a while ago on suspicion of murder.
Correspondent Jo Min-hee was the sole reporter.

A man in his 40s got out of a small car parked in the harbor.
They get on and off the passenger seat repeatedly, and following regarding two hours, the car just sinks into the sea.
A woman in her 40s sitting in the driver’s seat died, and the woman’s second brother in the passenger seat escaped and saved her life.
The incident was captured on CCTV, and the Coast Guard immediately launched an investigation into insurance fraud.
However, on the day the reporters obtained it, a more suspicious image of her brother was caught on the CCTV screen.
My brother got out of the passenger seat, took something out of the back seat of the car, and put it in front of a power pole.
After 50 minutes, the vehicle crashes into the sea.
Before the car fell into the water, you took out your belongings, such as your cell phone.
He even asked paramedics to bring his belongings that were left outside following being rescued.

“The patient (the second brother) was lying in the car and said that he had his luggage, that he had a cell phone in it, and asked him to bring his bag.”
The Coast Guard sees the crime as a pre-planned situation.
In addition, through a closed experiment, it was concluded that the possibility that the older brother moved his younger sister to the driver’s seat and then got into the passenger seat and operated the vehicle was sufficient, and it was also confirmed that the older brother visited the scene the day before the accident and made a preliminary investigation.
The insurance company also secured medical records stating, “At that time, my sister’s brain tumor condition worsened and she was unable to move her right hand.”
The investigation started, and following the MBC report went out, my brother disappeared, and the Coast Guard is pursuing the ‘murder’ charge.

“The part that (MBC) aired also had an effect on (application of the charges)… a lot.”
