An office worker who first tried to kill his boss on Tuesday ``accidentally’’ killed a different supervisor out of anger later in the day, according to Yangcheon Police Station Wednesday.

The man worked at a construction company as a temporary worker but quit. He visited one of the offices in western Seoul Tuesday afternoon to meet an executive who had promised him 5 million won in pay, but had only given him 3 million won. The meeting led to a scuffle and an angry verbal exchange.

When the man later returned and found his boss was absent, he instead stabbed to death a team manager working at the same office.

He told the police that he suddenly got upset and stabbed the team manager in a fit of anger. He also said the absent executive always looked down on him, which caused his frustration to grow over a long period of time.

The police requested the prosecution file for an arrest warrant.
