The victim’s wife revealed that her husband had frequently complained about one particular individual who would often pick fights after consuming alcohol. She had informed the employment agent about the issue, and her husband had also mentioned it during their last phone conversation.
Tragically, on the night of the incident, the victim was asleep in his room when he was fatally stabbed in the chest by the other Sri Lankan. The Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) has been notified of the incident and has informed the victim’s family. The South Korean authorities have confirmed that the suspect is in police custody.
This incident highlights the challenges faced by migrant workers in foreign countries, including issues relating to shared accommodation and alcohol-fueled altercations.
