B, a 26-year-old man who was at the scene, fled immediately after the crime.

The police caught Mr. B on the city street one hour after the crime.

The police secured the statement of Mr. B that ‘A did not meet him, so he went home and committed the crime’.

Person A, who was stabbed in the stomach, suffered serious injuries to the stomach and is recovering from emergency surgery at the hospital.

Fortunately, it has been reported that there is no life-threatening injury.

Police believe that B had planned the crime in advance, such as preparing a weapon in advance.
