[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Ju Cheol-in] On the 13th, the Gumi Police Station in Gyeongbuk applied for an arrest warrant for A (36) on charges of attempted murder for stabbing his Filipino wife multiple times with a weapon after she demanded a divorce.

A is accused of becoming enraged when his Filipino wife B (27) demanded a divorce at their home in Sangmo-dong, Gumi-si, around 3:35 p.m. on the 10th, grabbing a weapon and following her into an alley where he stabbed her multiple times in the face and neck.

At that moment, a police officer from a nearby police box passing by reported to the police that "a man presumed to be the husband stabbed his wife with a weapon," and arrested A on the spot.

During the police investigation, A stated, "My wife demanded a divorce, so I asked her 'Who are you seeing?' but she did not answer, so I committed the act with a weapon from the kitchen, but I had no intention to kill."

B sustained injuries to her face and neck, but it is reported that her life is not in danger.
