Saying they should break up for good this time, a man in his 20s notified his girlfriend of 1.5 years that he wanted to end their relationship. The girlfriend insisted on talking more, and the man tried to walk away. At that moment, the girlfriend suddenly changed, pulling out a pre-purchased weapon she had kept inside her cosmetic pouch and swinging it. During the investigation, the woman claimed it was "self-defense." However, the prosecutors demanded a three-year prison sentence for the woman, and the first-instance sentencing is approaching next month. What on earth happened between the two that day?
