[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seul-gi] A man in his 40s who stabbed his wife multiple times with a weapon in front of their 8-year-old daughter during a marital dispute has been arrested by the police.

The Ojeong Police Station in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, announced on the 7th that they have urgently detained and are investigating the husband, A (42), on suspicion of murder.

A is accused of stabbing his wife, B (40), multiple times with a weapon at a residence in Ojeong-dong, Bucheon City, around 12:30 a.m. that day.

After the crime, A attempted self-harm by injuring his left wrist with the weapon but was arrested by police who responded following a report from their daughter, C (8).

The couple’s daughter, C, reportedly heard the parents arguing, opened the master bedroom door, found B bleeding, and reported, "Dad is killing Mom in the master bedroom. Mom is bleeding."

B was transported to a nearby hospital by the 119 emergency medical team that responded to the report but ultimately passed away.

The police are investigating the exact circumstances, believing that A stabbed his wife multiple times with a weapon from the kitchen during a marital dispute.
