According to an announcement by the South Korean police on the 23rd, Mr. Cho (62), who was arrested on suspicion of murder, is a profiler (criminal psychology expert).
In response to an investigation by the IRS (International Analyst), she said, "Until now, my son has been helping me with my living expenses, but he stopped helping me last year. His business is going well, but I am dissatisfied with the lack of financial support, so I decided to
According to a report by South Korean media outlet SBS, police purchased iron pipes that Cho is said to have used to make firearms around the time his financial support was cut off.
At the beginning of the incident, Cho had kept silent, so the motive for the murder was reported to be "domestic discord."
It was said that the motive for the murder was that his son pointed out to him that he had a problem with his health. However, the family of the deceased issued a statement to refute such speculation.
"We have decided to express our opinion because we cannot tolerate speculative reports continuing to suggest that the suspect had some kind of motive for the crime," he said.
"That is simply not possible," they said. The family also pointed out that Cho was suspected of plotting to kill his daughter-in-law and two grandchildren.
"The suspect fired two shots at the victim (his son) and then pulled the trigger twice on an acquaintance of the victim.
"The suspect then evacuated the children, and when his wife, who had been hiding, went outside the room to temporarily rescue her husband, he reloaded the firearm and
He chased after her while shouting at his daughter-in-law." The daughter-in-law again locked the door to the room where they were hiding to protect the children, but the suspect repeatedly tried to open the door and threatened her to come out.
The family of the deceased added, "We believe that the suspect planned and carried out an indiscriminate murder of not only the victim but everyone who was there, but that the attempt was foiled due to a malfunction of the firearm."
Meanwhile, police searched Cho's residence in Ssangmun-dong, Dobong-gu, Seoul on the same day and seized five to six homemade firearm barrels and firearm-making tools.
The police also confiscated Cho's mobile phone and other items and requested the National Forensic Service to conduct digital forensics.
Based on this, they plan to investigate in detail how Cho prepared for the crime.
