A court in Suwon, South Korea, held an arrest warrant hearing on Thursday for a man accused of murdering his estranged wife in front of their young daughter. The suspect, a public servant in his 30s, was apprehended on Tuesday after allegedly stabbing his wife, also in her 30s, outside their home in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. The couple was in the midst of divorce proceedings and the man was reportedly concerned about being at a disadvantage, leading him to track down his wife using her address from the divorce papers.
The Suwon District Court's Seongnam branch is expected to decide later that day whether to issue the warrant, with the charges listed as murder and child abuse.
