Father Arrested for Allegedly Killing Family in Tragic Incident

A father in his 40s has been arrested after allegedly driving his car into the sea with his wife and two sons inside, resulting in their deaths. The incident occurred on June 1 at around 1:12 AM near Jindo Port in South Jeolla Province. The Gwangju District Court's Chief Judge Kim Ho-seok issued a warrant for the arrest of the 49-year-old man, identified as Ji, citing concerns over potential flight risk. During police questioning, Ji reportedly stated that he was overwhelmed by debts amounting to 160 million won (approximately $135,000) and had given his wife and sons sleeping pills before driving into the water. Authorities have added charges of aiding suicide to the murder allegations, as Ji is said to have conspired with his wife regarding the tragic act. As he left the courtroom, Ji did not respond to reporters' questions about the incident. The police plan to conduct autopsies on the victims' bodies and analyze mobile phones and the vehicle's black box for further investigation.
