A husband in his 30s admitted to the charge in court, having killed his wife by throwing a stone at her after drowning her in the sea off Jamjin Island, Incheon.

In the first trial held on the 7th at the Incheon District Court Criminal Division 14 (Chief Judge Ryu Kyung-jin), Mr. A (30), who was arrested and indicted on murder charges, said, “I agree with all the facts and evidence of the indictment.”
According to the prosecution’s indictment, “The defendant got married in June 2020, but in September of the same year, when the defendant’s affair was discovered and he was questioned, his life was excessively monitored by the victim, and he thought that he was spending a lot of the money he earned ( “He had strong dissatisfaction with the victim,” he explained.
He said, “We decided to go fishing on Jamjin Island on July 12, 2023, but while traveling on the 15th, we found out that the victim had purchased several luxury bags and thought that we would not be able to continue our marriage.” He added, “The victim cannot swim. “I planned to kill him by dropping him into the sea and committed the crime,” he said.
He continued, “After pushing the fishing victim into the sea, he hit his head with a rock several times to prevent him from coming out, causing him to die from drowning due to head damage.”
Mr. A, who appeared in court wearing an ocher-colored shroud on this day, also bowed his head and answered, “Yes, that’s true” when asked by the judge, “Is it correct to admit the charges?”
