A court in Seoul has issued an arrest warrant for a 59-year-old man suspected of murdering a 15-year-old girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted by his son. The suspect was apprehended on Wednesday at a short-term rental property in northern Seoul, where he is believed to have committed the crime the previous day. Police are investigating whether the murder was carried out to cover up the girlfriend's alleged involvement in extortion and prostitution schemes.
The girl, who frequently ran away from home and reported family troubles to the police, had reportedly become a victim of statutory rape involving the son of the murder suspect in January. The rental property was reportedly rented by a woman in her 20s who was in a de facto relationship with the suspect.
