Key suspects in the death of a Korean businessman in Guatemala are found to be Korean.

The Foreign Ministry in Seoul said two of six suspects in the death of a middle-aged Korean resident of Guatemala identified as Song are Koreans residing in the same nation. The ministry said local police are interrogating them.

Three Guatemalan police officers and one intelligence officer were also arrested as accomplices. Investigators are searching for another Guatemalan suspect, also a police officer, who fled.

Police believe the suspects killed Song for money after they found out he hit a 240-thousand-dollar jackpot at a casino.l
