Police arrested two construction workers on suspicion of beating their coworker to death for refusing to drink.



Gwanak Police in southern Seoul said Tuesday that the two offenders, identified only as Lee (42) and Chung (52), beat their colleague Chang (47) to death at another coworker's house in Shillim-dong, Seoul, Saturday.



The two beat the man because Chang refused to go out drinking with them, police officials said. They said their crime was unintentional.



According to the police, the two had beaten Chang habitually, who was mentally challenged. His ill health could have contributed to his death.
