90-Year-Old Man Arrested and Referred to Prosecutors for Murdering 80-Year-Old Wife Over Suspected Infidelity

Police have arrested and referred a man in his 90s to prosecutors on charges of strangling and killing his wife.

According to the Seoul Gwangjin Police Station on today (the 29th), suspect A is accused of murder for strangling his 80-year-old wife B to death at an apartment in Gwangjin-gu at around 10:30 AM on the 21st.

Immediately after the crime, A called another family member and confessed to what he had done.

The family member immediately reported it to the police, and A was emergency arrested.

Wife B, who was rushed to a hospital right after the crime, ultimately passed away.

Consequently, police changed A's charges from attempted murder to murder and referred him to the Seoul Dongbu District Prosecutors' Office the previous day.

A reportedly told police during questioning that he strangled his wife during an argument after suspecting her of having an affair.
