When the husband turned violent, the woman took out a weapon from the kitchen and stabbed him to death. Their child who was at home at the time is said to be suffering from shock and stress.
The Daegu court said that the murder was not premeditated, and that the woman had attempted to stop the victim’s bleeding and called for emergency help. However, it decided it was unpardonable that she had killed her husband in the presence of their child.
