Man Who Assaulted Wife With Heated Tool Self-Harms During Meal in Detention Cell

A man who was detained on charges of confining his wife in a bathroom and assaulting her has been hospitalized after self-harming during a meal.

The Seoul Guro Police Station announced that at around 6:30 AM on the 10th, a man in his 60s who was being held in the detention cell of the Geumcheon Police Station inflicted self-harm using an object while eating breakfast.

Mr. A was transferred to a hospital for treatment, and his life is reportedly not in danger.

Previously, Mr. A had been arrested on the 7th and was under investigation for confining his wife at their home in Guro-gu, Seoul, and burning her body parts with a tool heated on a gas stove.

The police believe Mr. A committed the act of self-harm due to despair over his situation.
