A wife who fatally struck her husband’s head and other areas with a bottle of whiskey during a marital dispute was arrested by the police, a fact that was revealed later.


On the 24th, the Pyeongtaek Police Station announced that they have criminally charged a woman in her 50s, identified as A, with injury resulting in death and are currently investigating her. A is accused of hitting her husband, B, on the head and other parts with a whiskey bottle around 3 a.m. on the 15th at their home in Pyeongtaek, causing his death. A reported the crime to the police herself immediately after the incident and was apprehended. B was severely injured and transported to a hospital for treatment but died around 2 p.m. on the same day.



During the police investigation, A reportedly stated, "I was angry because my husband demanded a divorce." The police applied for an arrest warrant for A, but the court dismissed it, stating there was no risk of evidence tampering or flight. A police official said, "The perpetrator in this case is a housewife, and the victim is an academy instructor. It seems the quarrel escalated into a serious fight," adding, "There is no record of prior police reports between the two." The police are investigating A without detention and are considering whether to reapply for an arrest warrant.
