Toddler killed ‘so his father could return to online gaming’

South Korean police have charged a man for the murder of his two-year-old son after he confessed to suffocating the child so he could leave the house to go back to playing games at an internet cafe.

Police in the city of Taegu arrested the 22-year-old on Sunday, identified only by his surname, Chung, after finding the body of his child in a suitcase wrapped in a trash bag near his home.

Chung had earlier reported the boy missing.
