A few days ago, an 11-year-old elementary school student with bruises all over his body was taken to a hospital in Incheon, but he finally died.

Police believe the father beat the child to death with a blunt instrument and launched an arrest investigation.

This is a report by reporter Yuh-hyun.

In the early morning of the 17th, a 119 call was made from an apartment in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, saying that an 11-year-old son could not breathe.

[Firefighting official: The report says, "The child is not breathing." And male fifth grade.... CPR and cardiac arrest....]

The child who was taken to the hospital eventually died, and the fire department found bruises all over the child's body and asked the police for a joint response.

Suspecting the abuse, police immediately arrested the child's father at the hospital.

The child's father reportedly admitted the abuse, stating to the police that he hit his son to discipline him because he did not listen.

It was investigated that he hit his son with a blunt instrument the previous afternoon, and the National Forensic Service delivered the first oral finding to the police that there was a causal relationship between trauma and death.

The police are continuing their investigation with an arrest warrant for the father of the child.

A wife in her 40s is also charged with violating the Child Welfare Act and is investigating whether she assisted or participated in her husband's abuse.

We are also investigating the couple's other children for abuse.
