Episode 25:
The Son Blackout for 15hr and His Family found Slaughtered, How Kitchen Tool Turned into Weapon..

In September 2022, a 14-year-old boy in Busan woke up after sleeping for nearly 15 hours. When he walked into the living room, he found his mother dead in a pool of blood.

His sister was dead in her bedroom. Even the family dog had been killed.

The Deep Sleep

At first, investigators couldn't understand why the boy had slept through the entire tragedy. Then they discovered something unusual.

The day before the murders, a friendly neighbor had visited the home and offered him a cup of bellflower tea, claiming it was "good for his health."

After drinking it, he lost consciousness and slept for almost 15 hours.

The Trusted Neighbor

The suspect wasn't a stranger. She was a woman in her 50s who lived nearby and had become close friends with the victim's mother.

The two families regularly visited each other's homes, shared meals, and spent time together. Police later discovered that sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medications had been mixed into drinks given to the family.

Suspicious

Several details quickly raised suspicion. The mother's jewelry had disappeared. The daughter's phone was missing.

Drugs matching the substances found in the victims' bodies were traced back to the neighbor.

Investigators also uncovered evidence that another acquaintance had previously collapsed after drinking tea given by the same woman and later discovered valuables missing from her home.

Final Thoughts

Prosecutors argued that the neighbor initially intended to steal valuables after drugging the family. But when the victims began regaining consciousness, the situation escalated into murder.

In 2023, she was sentenced to life imprisonment. To this day, she continues to deny responsibility.

The most disturbing part of this case is that the family didn't open the door to a stranger. They welcomed someone they trusted.
