"Help with Housework, Noona" Brother-in-Law's Nagging Sparks Outburst... 50s Man Wields Blunt Object
Four Weeks of Injury Including a Fractured Shoulder Blade
A man in his 50s who lost his temper at his brother-in-law's nagging to help with housework and injured him with a blunt weapon narrowly avoided a prison sentence.
On the 26th, the Chuncheon District Court Criminal Division 2 (Presiding Judge Kim Taek-seong) announced that it sentenced A (58) to one year in prison with a two-year probation period and ordered probation for the charge of aggravated assault.
According to the indictment, last August, A had a verbal argument with his brother-in-law B (53) while having a meal after hearing the words, "Help your sister with the housework."
Angered, A swung a blunt weapon and inflicted injuries on B, including a fractured shoulder blade, requiring about four weeks of treatment.

The court criticized, "Considering the nature of the crime, the defendant's responsibility is by no means light." However, it explained the sentencing reason, "However, taking into account the defendant's admission of guilt and remorse, the absence of prior convictions for similar crimes, and the circumstances leading to the offense, a suspended prison sentence with probation is imposed."
