Couple in Their 60s Found Dead, Bound in Naju Home

Police Tracking Suspect Seen in CCTV Footage

A couple in their 60s was found murdered, bound in their home in Naju, Gwangju, South Jeolla Province, and police have launched a search for the suspect.

According to the Naju Police Station and other authorities on October 7, 2026, at 7:49 p.m. the previous day, an acquaintance discovered the deceased couple, identified as Mr. A (in his 60s) and his spouse, in a single-family home in Wanggok-myeon, Naju, and reported it to 112.

Responding to the report, police found Mr. A and his wife lying dead inside the house, their bodies bound at the feet and elsewhere with clothing and other items.

Mr. A had multiple stab wounds to various parts of his body, leading authorities to conclude he died from external causes, while his wife's death is presumed to be suffocation due to airway obstruction. The weapon believed to have been used in the crime was not found inside or outside the house.

After a detailed analysis of the closed-circuit television (CC TV) footage near the home, police secured footage showing an unidentified individual loitering around the property during the likely time of the crime and then running away in haste.

Police consider the man in the video a prime suspect and have continued tracking his movements for the second day. However, as of now, his identity has not been clearly determined.
