This is a pretty brutal murder that happened recently in Gwangju where two siblings upset with their father decided to brutally kill him with a screwdriver and knife:
A recent case of parricide in Gwangju, in which a brother and sister allegedly stabbed their father in the heart and neck, has received more than the usual amount of media attention this week because of the day the siblings chose.
A 47-year-old woman and her 43-year-old brother were arrested for allegedly killing their father on Sunday, when the rest of the nation was celebrating Parents’ Day. The victim was 76.
Gwangju police say the siblings have admitted to killing their father on Sunday, but they don’t believe their professed reason.
The suspects have asserted under questioning that they have been deeply upset with their father over the past two decades because of his ill treatment of their mother, who passed away in 2011 after years of suffering from mental and physical illnesses.
The mother was disabled in a car accident in the 1990s and suffered from dementia before she died, the police quoted the siblings as saying. [Joong Ang Ilbo]
