'Smoking Gun' covers the Sanggye mother and two sons murder and arson case.

Around 1:30 a.m. on July 13, 2002, an emergency call was received reporting a fire at a two-story house in Sanggye-dong, Seoul. When firefighters arrived, the flames had largely subsided, but inside the main room, a 35-year-old mother and her two sons, aged 10 and 6, were found dead. Investigators determined that someone had murdered them before deliberately setting the fire, yet no traces of the perpetrator remained.

Given that the victims' bodies were discovered in the main room, it is highly likely that the perpetrator was acquainted with them. The investigation team continued interviewing people around the victims but failed to find conclusive evidence identifying the culprit. Later, the Long-term Unsolved Crimes Team reopened the case but ultimately could not apprehend the offender.

Who exactly is the unidentified perpetrator in this case that remains unsolved even after 20 years? This will be covered in Episode 153 of KBS 2TV's 'Smoking Gun,' airing on the night of the 4th.

Regarding this case, Ahn Hyun-mo expressed shock, stating, "The method the perpetrator used to kill the mother and her two sons was extremely cruel."

In particular, Lee Ji-hye said, "The perpetrator's actions are a heinous act," but could not continue, adding, "It is frustrating that a strong suspect has an alibi."

Additionally, former Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Violent Crimes Division Long-term Unsolved Crimes Team Chief Kang Yun-seok appeared on the broadcast to detail the timeline of the case and his experience investigating it with the Long-term Unsolved Crimes Team. Park Geun-woo, a representative loss adjuster, discussed the victims' insurance records and circumstances suggesting the suspect committed insurance fraud following the incident. Furthermore, Seo Moon-soo-chul, team leader of the Fire Investigation Unit at the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency's Scientific Investigation Division, appeared to analyze the fire scene at the time of the incident and explained the possibility of delayed combustion.

The merciless and cruel tragedy of a perpetrator killing a mother and her two sons, 'Who killed my younger brother and nephews?' — The Sanggye mother and two sons murder and arson case can be viewed on Episode 153 of 'Smoking Gun' at 9:45 p.m. on the night of the 4th.
