A 40-year-old woman and a six-year-old son were found dead in an apartment in Seoul.

According to the Seoul Gwanak Police Station on the 13th, a North Korean defector Han Mo (42) and his son Kim Mo (6) were found dead at 2:30 pm on March 31 at a rental apartment in Bongcheon-dong, Gwanak-gu.

According to the police, the chief inspector visited the house and informed the janitor of the bad smell when he had no news even though Han's house had been cut off due to unpaid fees.

The apartment manager is said to have forcibly opened the window and found a hat that was hidden.

The police have not yet confirmed the circumstances in which they killed themselves or allegedly killed.

Police are also investigating the possibility of asa, noting that the groceries were running out of home at the time of discovery.

A police official said, "It is estimated that he died about two months ago, based on the statements of apartment residents and others," and "there was no food in the house, such as an empty refrigerator."

The police ask an autopsy to the National Institute of Scientific Investigation to cover the cause of death.
