  "summary": "A public servant in his 30s has been indicted for fatally stabbing his estranged wife outside their home in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, on September 1st, prosecutors announced on Tuesday. The suspect's motive was reportedly his concern over unfavorable outcomes in their ongoing divorce proceedings, and he was additionally charged with child abuse for committing the crime in front of their young daughter. The wife had been living separately under a court-issued protection order due to the husband's prior domestic violence, but the suspect managed to locate her using the address from their divorce documents. Prosecutors are seeking an electronic ankle monitor and probation for the suspect, as well as the termination of his parental rights and the appointment of a guardian for their surviving child. The suspect is currently in custody.",
