A 71-year-old man has been indicted on murder and stalking-related charges after allegedly stabbing his wife to death in an apartment in Jeonju. Prosecutors said he fled the scene and was arrested the following day in Seocheon while reportedly in a poisoned state. The couple had been involved in eight domestic violence or stalking reports since April, and the suspect had received all three levels of the court’s temporary stalking measures.
The available report does not explain how the alleged approach occurred or how the protective measures were implemented before the killing.
