Man in His 50s Arrested for Carrying a Weapon After Friends Took His Wife's Side

A man in his 50s who harbored resentment against an acquaintance and took a weapon from his home was arrested by the police following a report from his wife.

The Gwangju Nambu Police announced on the 19th that they have applied for an arrest warrant for Mr. A (51) on charges of attempting murder for carrying a weapon and attempting to visit an acquaintance's house.

Mr. A is suspected of having taken a weapon from the kitchen of his home located in Juwol-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, on the morning of the 17th, with the intent to harm his acquaintances.

According to the police investigation, Mr. A was intoxicated at the time and committed the act because he believed that his acquaintances sided only with his wife, not him.

Prior to this, after a dispute with his wife over financial matters, he visited an acquaintance's house to share his concerns, but when the acquaintances sided only with his wife instead of him, he developed resentment.

Fortunately, Mr. A did not actually go to the acquaintances' house due to a change of heart, but he was arrested following a report from his wife that "her husband left the kitchen carrying a weapon."

The police, considering the seriousness of weapon-related crimes, have applied for an arrest warrant for Mr. A and are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.
