“We just went yesterday at 6 o’clock…To be honest, I can’t believe it. I came here until yesterday…”

The police found a weapon that appears to have been used in the crime at the scene, and is looking for a 30-year-old man who was caught on CCTV at around 1 am as a suspect.

The victim was discovered because of an article posted on an Internet bulletin board, a favorite of motorcycle users.

The author mentioned the real name and store name of the man who died, and wrote that he would take revenge and make an extreme choice, saying, “I was scammed of hundreds of millions of won.”

Just in case, the reporter who saw this article came to the store in hopes that he witnessed the victim.

“I think (the reporter) went after seeing the article on the internet cafe. It’s really…”

Police believe that the person who posted the message on the bulletin board and the male suspect in their 30s are highly likely to be the same person.

The police will request an autopsy of the victim, and will investigate the financial relationship with the victim as soon as the suspect is caught.
