[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] A man in his 60s who killed his wife, from whom he was separated, on suspicion of infidelity because she left work early, was arrested by the police.

On the 12th, the Incheon Western Police Station announced that they have booked and are investigating Mr. A (65) on suspicion of murder.

Mr. A is accused of strangling Ms. B (59) with a cable wire around 1:30 a.m. at an apartment in Seo-gu, Incheon, where he resides. After killing Ms. B, he directly reported to the police, saying, "I killed my wife."

The previous afternoon, Mr. A went to his wife's workplace to meet Ms. B and, upon seeing her leave work earlier than scheduled, suspected her of infidelity and got into an argument. It was reported that Mr. A and Ms. B remarried 10 years ago but have been living separately for several years, meeting once or twice a week.

In the police investigation, Mr. A stated, "My wife said she would leave work at 9 p.m., but when I went to her workplace, I saw her leave an hour early." He added, "I suspected her of infidelity and got into an argument, during which I strangled her, but I did not intend to kill her." The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the crime, considering that Mr. A committed the act impulsively.
