[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] A wife who had been suffering from domestic violence was killed by her husband on a street in broad daylight, and the husband in his 50s, Mr. A, who is suspected of the murder, has been arrested.

On the 6th, Chief Judge Kang Moon-hee of the Seosan Branch of Daejeon District Court issued an arrest warrant for Mr. A, citing "risk of flight."

Mr. A appeared at the pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant hearing) around 11 a.m. that day, wearing slippers, a black hat, and a top, but did not respond to questions about the motive for the crime or reasons for refusing police investigation.

When asked if he had planned the crime in advance, he replied, "No." When asked if he had anything to say to the victim and the children, he briefly said, "I'm sorry."

Mr. A is accused of stabbing his wife, Ms. B, in her 40s, with a knife he had hidden in a bag, causing her death on a street in Dongmun-dong, Seosan-si, Chungnam Province, at 3:16 p.m. on the 4th.

Previously, Ms. B had reported to the police four times since the 1st of last month, saying she was "suffering from domestic violence" and "worried about the children with her husband." The police immediately separated the couple, but on the night of the 6th of last month, Mr. A went to find his wife and assaulted her.

Subsequently, the police booked him on charges of special injury and, with court approval, prohibited him from approaching or contacting his wife within 100 meters. Ms. B was also provided with a smartwatch.

However, Mr. A visited Ms. B again on the 26th of last month. When Ms. B reported again, the police requested Mr. A to appear, but he refused. Eventually, on the 4th, Mr. A went to Ms. B again and committed the crime.
