A man in his 50s who killed himself by wielding a weapon against employees at the Jamsil Tax Office in Songpa-gu, Seoul was confirmed to be an incumbent tax office employee.
The Seoul Songpa Police Department, which is investigating this case, is investigating the exact motive after making a provisional conclusion that this man committed a personal grudge against a woman among the victims on the 4th.
According to the police, at around 5:01 pm yesterday in the civil petition room on the 3rd floor of the Jamsil Tax Office, a 50-year-old man injured the face and arm of a woman in her 30s with a weapon and attacked two other male employees who were drying it.
Immediately after the incident, Mr. Nam was taken to the hospital after drinking a liquid believed to be poisonous, but died about an hour later.
The three victims are not known to have been seriously injured.
They were initially known as two women and one man, but the police today corrected it as one woman and two men.
Nam is known to have worked with victim A in the past at a tax office in Seoul.
As a result of a police investigation, it was found that Nam was not affiliated with the Jamsil Tax Office.
At the end of last year, Mr. A sued Nam to the police twice and then applied for personal protection measures, and it is known that the police gave Mr. A a smart watch for personal protection.
When you press the button on this device, 112 is immediately reported, and the police quickly dispatch to the place of the guardian through automatic location tracking.
However, it is said that A was not wearing a smart watch at the time of the incident.
The police are applying for an autopsy warrant to reveal the exact cause of Nam's death while investigating the exact details of the crime against Jamsil Tax Office staff and witnesses.
