Police on Wednesday sought an arrest warrant for a woman in her 20s after two men died and another was left unconscious after going to a motel with her.
The Seoul Gangbuk Police Station said it applied for the warrant on suspicion of inflicting bodily injury resulting in death and violating narcotics control laws.
The woman, identified only as A, was detained the previous day in Suyu-dong, Gangbuk District, on suspicion of giving a male victim a drink containing an unidentified substance at a motel.
According to investigators, she entered the motel with the victim around 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 9 and left alone about two hours later. The following day, at approximately 5:40 p.m., a motel employee discovered the man lying dead on the bed and reported the case to authorities. No external injuries were found on the body, and beer cans were recovered at the scene.
Investigators believe she used a similar method in two earlier incidents.
Late last month, a man was found dead after staying at a motel with the woman. He had consumed a drink she provided before his death, investigators said.
In mid-December, a third man lost consciousness after drinking a beverage she allegedly gave him and later filed a complaint against her on charges of bodily injury.
All three victims were men in their 20s who had met the suspect shortly before going with her to motels, according to police.
The suspect acknowledged giving the victims drinks containing medication but told investigators she did not expect them to die. The substance is believed to be a prescription drug and is undergoing forensic analysis.
