Daska stampede: Police yet to arrest main suspect Mr Patlu
Families of the two people killed in a stampede at a pre-wedding ceremony organised by TikToker Mr Patlu are still waiting for answers, as police have yet to arrest the main suspect despite the passage of around 36 hours. The incident at Faraz Stadium in Daska, Sialkot, left two people dead and 17 others injured […]
On Tuesday, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced the identity of the suspect behind a series of arson attacks at two patent firms in southern Seoul. The perpetrator, identified as Lee Myung-soo, a 77-year-old man, has been linked to the incidents that occurred on October 20.
Lee's mugshots were posted on the police website following a review committee's decision. He was arrested shortly after the fires and subsequently referred to the prosecution last week, facing charges of arson and attempted murder.
According to investigators, Lee had meticulously planned the arson attacks and was aware of the individuals working inside the offices. The suspect's motive has been speculated to be financial, with Lee claiming he acted out of desperation following a scam by the patent firms. However, his claims have not been substantiated.
The South Korean authorities release the identities and mugshots of those suspected in serious crimes when there's ample evidence pointing towards their guilt.
