A 42-year-old man has been arrested for killing his coworker.

Incheon Nambu Police Station said Wednesday that it arrested the man without a warrant to investigate him on the charges of murder and abandonment of the corpse.

The suspect is accused of killing his coworker by strangling him with a rope inside his car parked in Nam-gu, Incheon while he was asleep after drinking at around 11:30 p.m. on May 30.

Police apprehended the suspect at home on May 31 following the missing person’s report of the victim.

The suspect claimed during the police investigation that he committed the crime because he got mad at the victim for being arrogant and rude when he asked him to pay his money back.

While searching for the dead body based on the suspect’s statement, police will seek an arrest warrant for the suspect.
