A man in his 20s was arrested Sunday after fatally stabbing a woman in her 20s in Seoul's Gangdong-gu, police said. The Gangdong Police Station said it arrested the man, identified only as A, on murder charges and is questioning him.

A is suspected of stabbing the victim, a woman in her 20s identified as B, in the early hours of Sunday. He fled the scene immediately after the attack but turned himself in to police at around 5:40 a.m.

Police are investigating whether the two had been in a romantic relationship. No prior reports of stalking or criminal incidents between them have been found.

Police said they plan to seek a detention warrant for A as soon as the questioning is complete.
