[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] A woman in her 60s who fatally assaulted her husband during a marital dispute over living expenses has been sent to the prosecution.

According to the Busan Western Police Station on the 19th, a woman in her 60s, Ms. A, was sent to the prosecution under custody on charges of causing death by injury after fatally beating her husband, Mr. B, also in his 60s, during a marital dispute.

On the evening of the 15th around 9 PM, Ms. A and Mr. B argued over living expenses and continued their dispute until dawn before falling asleep. On the morning of the 16th, Ms. A, thinking Mr. B was asleep, tried to wake him but discovered he was not breathing and directly called 119.

When the police arrived, Mr. B's body showed multiple bruises, and bloodstains were found on the living room floor.

The autopsy revealed that Mr. B had broken ribs and multiple bruises, and he died from multiple fractures.

According to the police, CCTV footage showed no signs of bruises on Mr. B's body prior to the incident, and bloodstains matching Mr. B's were found on a broomstick in the house, leading them to believe Ms. A assaulted Mr. B.

During the police investigation, Ms. A denied the charges, stating, "We had a marital dispute, but I only slapped him once."

A police official stated, "Since this case has been sent to the prosecution, we cannot disclose detailed information."
