A husband in his 60s who left his wife bleeding and collapsed, causing her to fall into a critical condition, has been arrested by the police. On the 26th, the Ganghwa Police Station in Incheon announced that they had requested an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges of abandonment and injury.


Mr. A is suspected of leaving his wife, Ms. B, in her 50s, bleeding and collapsed at their home in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, around 6:12 p.m. on May 9th, causing her to fall into a critical condition.


Ms. B was later transported to the hospital by the 119 emergency medical team, who responded after a report from their daughter, but she remains in a brain-dead state receiving treatment. Bloodstains were reportedly found on Ms. B’s face and in the home’s bathroom at the time.


According to the police investigation, Mr. A came home to change clothes to play tennis and saw his collapsed wife. He took a photo of her and sent it to his stepdaughter. He then left the house without providing any aid. The stepdaughter, who lived in another area, saw the photo and called 119.


During the police investigation, Mr. A stated that "because there had been previous reports of domestic violence, he did not want to get further involved with his wife over such matters." In fact, Mr. A had been reported three times in the past for domestic violence, but all cases were closed with "no prosecution" or "no charges."



The police are conducting further investigations based on bruises and bloodstains found on Ms. B’s body to determine whether she was assaulted by Mr. A and collapsed as a result.
