Police have applied for an arrest warrant for a woman in her 40s who is accused of murdering her mother in her 60s.
According to Yonhap News and the Gangseo Police Station in Seoul, the warrant was requested for the woman, identified as A, on the night of October 22.
A is suspected of killing her mother at around 8:15 a.m. on October 22 in the Ujangsan-dong area of Gangseo District.
Officers responded to A's report and arrested her at the residence where the incident occurred at approximately 8:40 a.m.
At the time of the incident, only A and the victim were present in the home, which is known to house a total of four residents.
After police arrived, A's daughter reported, "Mom is saying strange things. Grandma isn't answering the phone," prompting the police to investigate.
During questioning, A allegedly told her daughter that her mother (the victim) had tried to poison her with food. However, police have not found any evidence related to poison.
Additionally, A reportedly told police during her initial report, "I did something bad to my stepmother," but investigators later confirmed that the two were biological mother and daughter.
A is currently denying the allegations against her.
