Police have arrested a man in his 20s on suspicion of killing his live-in girlfriend.

The Jincheon Police Station in North Chungcheong Province arrested the man, identified only as A, on murder charges and is investigating the case, police said Wednesday.

A is accused of killing his girlfriend, identified only as B and also in her 20s, at around 6:50 p.m. Tuesday at a villa in Jincheon-eup, Jincheon-gun, North Chungcheong Province.

After the killing, A reportedly called police himself, saying his girlfriend was not breathing after he had hit her.

The two had been in a relationship for about a year and had been living together for roughly six months, according to police.

During questioning, A told investigators that B had insulted his parents during an argument, police said.

Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the incident and plan to seek an arrest warrant against A.
