[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] A detention warrant for a man in his 50s accused of confining and assaulting his younger cohabiting female partner for 14 hours has been dismissed.


According to the police on the 24th, the Seoul Central District Court held a pre-trial detention hearing for Mr. A, in his 50s, the previous day and dismissed the warrant. The police stated that the victim, a woman in her 30s, submitted a letter to the court expressing her wish not to press charges, which played a decisive role in the dismissal of the detention warrant.



Mr. A is accused of confining the victim, who lives with him, in a room from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the 21st at a multi-family house in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, shaking her by the hair and slapping her, among other acts of confinement and assault. The police responded to a report from an acquaintance and arrested him on the spot as a suspect caught in the act.
