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

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

Immediately after the crime, A confessed to the act during a phone call with another family member.

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

B was transported to a hospital right after the attack but ultimately passed away.

Consequently, police upgraded A's charge from attempted murder to murder and forwarded him to the Seoul Dongbu District Prosecutors' Office yesterday.

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