A 33-year-old male suspect was arrested at a subway station in Seoul, South Korea, and charged with murder and attempted murder. The police released the identity and photos of the suspect on Wednesday. The local media revealed that the suspect had searched the Internet for information on the murder case in Plaza Hollywood in Hong Kong before the murder.

The incident happened around 2:00 pm last Friday. The suspect, Cho Sun, was suspected of stabbing to death a 20-year-old strange man near Exit 4 of Seoul’s Sillim Station, and then attacked another man in a nearby alley. 3 men were subsequently arrested. The police stated that considering the seriousness and brutality of the crime and sufficient evidence, they decided to disclose the identity of the suspect. Zhao Shan has undergone a psychiatric test and the results will be available later. The police are investigating his background and motive for committing the crime.

South Korea’s “Chosun Ilbo” and “Korea Herald” reported that the police searched Zhao Shan’s mobile phone and computer records since January this year, and found that he had searched for Yu Holi, a 39-year-old man with a history of mental illness in Hong Kong at the beginning of last month. The case of beheading people with a knife in the living square, resulting in the death of two women, also involved the beheading of passers-by who had never met. The Korean police have not yet determined whether Zhao Shan had intended to kill him when he searched for relevant information.

According to reports, Zhao Shan also searched for information such as “forcibly sent to a mental hospital”, “escaping from a mental hospital” and “hospital admission fees”. The local police are investigating whether the suspect imitated the crime. The report also pointed out that Zhao Shan once confessed to the police that he was troubled by symptoms of depression, but the police checked his medical records from January 2013 to before committing the crime, and there was no relevant record. In addition, Zhao Shan also told the police that he had searched the Internet for information on the murder, the location of the fatality, and what knife should be used for the murder. According to another report, Zhao Shan once said that he lived a miserable life, so he wanted to make others suffer.
