A 57-year-old woman and her son-in-law are at the center of a brutal attempted murder case in Ganghwa County, Incheon. The woman, identified as Ms. A, allegedly stabbed her husband multiple times and mutilated his genitals inside a café owned by her son-in-law, Mr. B.
The crime happened around 1 a.m. on August 1. Mr. B, in his 30s, is accused of helping by restraining the victim with tape.
Ms. A claimed the attack was because she suspected her husband of having an affair. Police are now investigating a possible financial motive due to the cruelty of the act and the son-in-law’s unusual involvement.
Police said:
> “Considering the gruesome method and the fact that a third party, the son-in-law, was involved in a domestic issue, we are also looking into whether property or other financial factors were involved.”
After mutilating the victim, Ms. A reportedly destroyed parts of the severed organ and flushed some down the toilet. The victim was intoxicated and unable to resist. He is now in stable condition at a hospital.
Mr. B initially denied any role but later admitted to assisting under Ms. A’s orders. Both suspects refused to answer reporters’ questions about their motives or remorse before their hearing.
The Incheon District Court issued arrest warrants for both, citing risks of evidence tampering and flight. Ms. A faces attempted murder charges. Mr. B is charged with attempted parricide.
Police continue investigating the full motive, including economic disputes and how the victim was intoxicated during the attack.
