"Drugged Alcohol and Weapons": Woman Admits to Three Attempts to Murder Husband

A taekwondo gym employee and her accomplice, a gym director, have admitted to all charges during their first trial for attempting to murder the employee's husband using drugged alcohol and weapons.

During the first trial held today (July 8) at the Incheon District Court's Bucheon Branch, presided over by Judge Na Sang-hoon of the 1st Criminal Division, the attorneys for the defendant, a female employee in her 40s identified as A, and the defendant, a female gym director in her 20s identified as B, both stated, "We admit to all the facts charged."

The attorney for B stated, "The defendant admits to all the charges and is deeply reflecting on her actions," adding, "She also offers her sincere apologies to the victim."

The attorney for A expressed the same position.

The husband of A is scheduled to appear as a witness in the next trial.

A and B are accused of attempting to murder A's husband three times between April 26 and June 6 at A's home in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, using drugged alcohol and weapons.

The investigation revealed that they searched the internet for methods of poisoning and mixed a psychotropic tranquilizer into soju, which they offered to A's husband. When he did not drink it, they placed it in the refrigerator.

They also attempted to deliver soju laced with tranquilizers to A's husband by placing it in his home mailbox, and they attacked him with a weapon, causing an injury to the back of his neck that required five weeks of medical treatment.
