[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] A woman in her 60s who wielded a weapon against her husband after he refused her divorce request has been arrested by the police.


The Wanju Police Station in Jeonbuk announced on the 6th that they have detained and are investigating A (65) on charges of attempted murder.


A is accused of stabbing her husband B twice with a weapon at their home in Soyang-myeon, Wanju-gun, at around 10:15 a.m. on the 5th.


B was taken to a nearby hospital and is currently receiving treatment, with no life-threatening injuries reported.


The police stated that they apprehended A near the Seomjingang Dam in Imsil-gun after she left the house immediately following the incident.


During the police investigation, A reportedly stated, "I felt wronged because my husband usually ignored me. I asked for a divorce, but he refused, which led to this."



The police are conducting a detailed investigation into the circumstances of the incident with both A and B.
