Man arrested for killing over quarrel in online game


A 37-year-old man has been arrested for murdering another man in his 20s, with whom he had a quarrel in an online game chat room, according to Daejeon Jungbu Police, Monday.


The 37-year-old faces a 토토사이트추천 charge of killing the 28-year-old man by stabbing him with a knife, Saturday, near an apartment complex in Daejeon. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital, but pronounced dead there.


The two first interacted with each other online while playing a mobile game several months ago.


The victim who lived in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, drove to Daejeon on the day of the incident as the older man living in Daejeon asked him to visit after the two had quarreled in the game's chat room.


"They continued to quarrel in the chat room for about four days," one of the bereaved family members told JTBC, noting that the assailant sent his address to the victim.


The assailant was hiding a knife in his sleeve when the two met in person. But he claimed during police questioning that he had no intention of killing the victim.


Police officers said that they are continuing their questioning to find the exact motive for the crime and will ask the National Forensic Service to conduct an autopsy.
