Police in Seoul have requested a warrant to arrest a man suspected of murdering his mother-in-law and kidnapping his wife, who is involved in a marriage annulment case with him.

According to police, the suspect stabbed his mother-in-law at a home in Seoul's Songpa district and abducted his wife before fleeing early Sunday.
