A man in his 50s took the extreme step of killing his co-worker at a construction site with a knife during an argument over unpaid wages. According to accounts from the Incheon Central Police Station on the 12th, at around 2 p.m. on this day, Mr. A, a daily construction worker, killed his colleague B (in his 50s) with a weapon on the 11th floor of a new apartment construction site in Unnam-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon. After committing the crime, Mr. A went up to the 14th floor and jumped down. It was determined that Mr. A committed the crime during an argument while visiting a construction site with Mr. B over unpaid wages. The police reported that there was no construction schedule at the site that day, so only A and B were present, and there were no other witnesses. Mr. B is said to have worked as a ‘foreman’, the leader of a work team, at a subcontractor that hired daily workers to do brick work at construction sites. The police plan to request an autopsy of the two dead people from the National Institute of Forensic Science, while also investigating the specific motive for the crime among colleagues at the construction site and the bereaved family. A police official said, “The exact details, such as the issue of unpaid wages and subcontracting relationships, have not yet been identified.” Reporter Lee Jeong-ha [email protected] ※If you need professional help due to depression or other concerns that are difficult to talk about, suicide prevention hotline ☎️1577-0199, Hope Line ☎️129, Life Line ☎️1588-9191, Youth Line ☎️1388, Youth Line You can receive expert consultation 24 hours a day through the mobile consultation ‘Dog Who Listens to Everything’ app, KakaoTalk, etc.
