Arrest Warrant Sought for Partner Company Employee in 'Electronics Company Stabbing'... Attempted Murder Charge Added

Police Charge Suspect with Attempted Murder and Aggravated Assault

The police have launched an operation to secure the custody of an employee from a partner company who attacked two staff members of an electronics company with a weapon at the Magok Business District in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.

On May 28, the Seoul Gangseo Police Station announced that it had requested an arrest warrant for Mr. A, a man in his 60s employed by an LG Electronics partner company, on charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault.

According to the police, at around 11:18 a.m. the previous day, Mr. A is suspected of attacking employees B and C with a weapon at LG Electronics’ Magok Business District, Science Park, in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, causing them serious injuries. Both B and C were taken to the hospital with severe injuries, but their lives are not believed to be in danger.

Initially, Mr. A was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, but police later added the charge of attempted murder after concluding that he had intended to kill one of the two victims.

Mr. A fled the scene immediately after the incident, but was apprehended at Digital Media City Station in Mapo-gu at around 11:58 a.m., approximately 40 minutes after the attack. During police questioning, Mr. A stated that he committed the crime out of anger after being notified of his dismissal, claiming that the victims had habitually looked down on and ignored him.

However, the victims have denied Mr. A's claims, stating that he struggled with his work and that they had requested a change of role for him through the partner company’s CEO.

As the statements from both sides are conflicting, the police plan to continue with a more detailed investigation to clarify the facts of the case.
