"I killed two people. Only one person is left." A man sent this scary message to his wife. After the message was sent, his mother and half-brother were discovered at their home, covered with bedclothes. His stepfather was found in an abandoned car's trunk in a membership resort in Ganwon-do. However, now, the wife claims that she had no knowledge of her husband's act. What happened to them?

A suspect in this case surnamed Kim, is placed under arrest by New Zealand police because of a report by a local resident. He is suspected of stealing worth 4,000 dollars in New Zealand, not murder. Kim's sister reported to the police that she could not connect with her mother. Then, the police found the dead body and suspected Kim as the culprit. Kim's sister said that the financial situation of Kim's family was worse, so Kim depended on his mother financially. They were always in conflict because of money. After the murder, Kim's family took a flight to New Zealand. After they arrived, Kim was arrested by New Zealand police because of theft, and his wife and children came back to South Korea. The wife claims that she had no knowledge of Kim's act. However, it seemed inevitable to avoid investigating Kim's wife because of circumstantial evidence. South Korean authority is connecting with New Zealand police and had some documents sent over for arresting Kim.

A man killed his parents and brothers. A case of murder in one family has shocked a lot of people in South Korea and in New Zealand. I hope that the police in New Zealand will send Kim back to South Korea still under arrest, and investigate the crime in detail. The person who committed this terrible case of murder should get harsh punishment. Crimes in the family, such as this case, must never be committed again.
