[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] A man in his 30s who wielded a weapon against his wife, a woman in her 40s known as an actress, has been handed over to the prosecution.

On the 21st, Yongsan Police Station in Seoul sent Mr. A, a man in his 30s accused of attempted murder, to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office under detention that morning.

Earlier, at around 8:40 a.m. on the 14th, Mr. A stabbed his wife, Ms. B, a woman in her 40s and a film actress, with a weapon in front of their home in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, and then injured himself. It is known that their child, who lived with Ms. B, was also present at the scene. Fortunately, Ms. B's life was not in danger. The police, who received a report from a nearby resident at the time of the incident, arrested Mr. A at the scene.

It is reported that Ms. B had reported Mr. A to the police three times from the night before the incident. Although there was no physical violence at that time, the police ordered Mr. A to leave and changed the door lock password.

After investigating Mr. A on the 15th, the police applied for an arrest warrant on charges of attempted murder. On the 16th, Judge Park Won-gyu, head of the warrant division at the Seoul Western District Court, issued the arrest warrant, citing concerns of evidence tampering and flight risk.
