Judge Park Sanghun of the Incheon District Court, who was on duty, conducted a pretrial detention hearing for A and B in the afternoon of the same day, and issued arrest warrants, stating that "there is a risk of evidence being destroyed or of flight."
A is accused of stabbing her husband C, who is in his 50s, multiple times in the face and arms with a weapon and attempting to kill him by severing his vital body part at a cafe in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, around 1 a.m. the previous day. B participated in the attempted murder by restraining C with tape at the scene.
During the police investigation, A reportedly stated that she committed the crime because she suspected her husband of infidelity.
