▲'My House of Peace', a resting place for comfort women victims' grandmothers 


Son Mo (60), head of Mapo Shelter (My House of Peace), a victim of the Japanese comfort women of the Ethiopian Memory Regiment, who was tentatively determined to have made an extreme choice on the 6th, was confirmed to have returned home with a cell phone in the vehicle.

The police plan to confirm the exact cause of death by identifying the last caller, etc. through a digital forensic work on Mr. Son's cell phone.

According to the Gyeonggi Paju Police Station, the time when Son returned to his Paju apartment is around 10:35 am on the 6th.

On the same day, about 12 hours later, about 10:57 pm, Mr. A, who is known as Son's former colleague and assistant adviser to Democratic Party Congressman Yoon Mi-hyang, visited Son's house and reported it to the fire department.

Son was found dead in the bathroom in the house.

It is believed that Mr. Son made an extreme choice for himself.

As a result of the autopsy of the National Research Institute of Science and Technology, there were traces of self-injury on Mr. Son's body, as well as treatments for depression and insomnia in the home.

There is a statement that Mr. Son recently said that it was difficult due to the prosecution's search for the Mapo Shelter.

This is because Mr. Son's cell phone was found in the car, not at home, and the contact time was about 12 hours long, so there is not much clue to estimate.

A police officer explained, "We are in the process of digital forensic work because we need to check who the last person to call to confirm the exact cause of death and whether there is a message in the form of a message in the mobile phone."
