"Did you sleep with another man?" 50s man sentenced to prison for wielding a weapon suspecting his wife

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] A man in his 50s who wielded a weapon after suspecting his wife of refusing sexual relations was sentenced to prison.

The Jeonju District Court Jeongeup Branch Criminal Division 1 (Chief Judge Gong Hyunjin) announced on the 9th that it sentenced Mr. A (53), who was indicted on charges of special assault, to two years in prison.

Mr. A was indicted for stabbing his wife, Ms. B, multiple times with a weapon at their home around 11:40 p.m. on October 25 last year. According to the court, Mr. A, who came home intoxicated, demanded sexual relations from Ms. B, who was in the living room, but she refused.

In response, Mr. A took a weapon from the kitchen and accused Ms. B, saying, "Isn't this because you had sexual relations with someone else?" He threatened, "Admit you had sexual relations with someone else, or I will kill you." Ms. B denied, saying, "That is not true," but Mr. A stabbed her several times with the weapon.

Ms. B, who was stabbed, fled outside the house, and residents who witnessed the incident reported it to the police. It was investigated that Ms. B sustained injuries to her arm and fingers, requiring four weeks of medical treatment.

The court stated, "Defendant Mr. A suspected the victim of having sexual relations with another person, and when the victim denied it, he stabbed her with a weapon until she admitted it," adding, "Due to the serious injuries to Ms. B's hand and arm caused by the crime, a prison sentence for Mr. A is inevitable."

However, the court explained the sentencing reasons, saying, "The son born to Mr. A and Ms. B is three years old and young, and Ms. B submitted an agreement stating she does not want punishment for Mr. A," and "considering other factors such as Mr. A's age and circumstances after the crime."
