The murder-suicide occurred in an annex to Pre- sident Rhee's Kyung Mu-Dae mansion where the Assem- bly speaker and Vice-President Elect had taken refuge with his family from violent anti-government demonstra-

tions.

Shot in head

Officials who conducted a joint investigation said Kang Suk used a .45 calibre pistol, He fired one shot each into the head of father, mother and brother. Then, after apparently confirming they were dead, he fred one shot into his stomach and another into his head.

The bodies were found in a small room. The body

of Lee, his wife and the younger son were found sitting

on a couch with. their heads against the head rest.

Kang Suk's body was lying just in front of the couch. Five empty .45 calibre cartridges were near the elder son's body.

Kang Suk was dressed in his military uniform with the insignia of a second lieutenant.

On Lee Ki-poong's lap were copies of the Tuesday afternoon newspapers which had demanded Rhee's re- signation.

Student demonstrators had vowed to kill Lee for his sponsorship of police brutality and the rigging of the March 15 presidential elections.

Large crowd

UPI correspondent Charles R. Smith reported by radio telephone from the gate of Kung Mu-Dae that a large crowd was gathering there.

Some Liberal party members broke down in tears, Others rushed to Kyung Mu-Dac, hoping to see the bodies. Lee was the No. 2 man in the Liberal Party, which was headed by President Rhee, himself.

Precautions

According to reports, bodyguards for the Lee family had been worried particularly since yesterday, when the Lees became desperate.

Guards took special precautions to avoid suicide. But the family evaded them this morning and carried out the murder-suicide paet at 5.40 a.m.

Because President Rhee and his Austrian wife had no children of their own, they adopted Lee's son in March, 1957, on Rheo's 82nd birthday. This is a normal custom in the Orient for families which have no male heir, but political sources believed at that time it was an adoption of political expediency. The adopilon was proposed by Lee himself. It was to show the public that Lee was the president's heir- apparent.
