A 71-year-old man was sentenced to 12 weeks in jail after pleading guilty to a charge. He had attacked his 74-year-old wife, with whom he has been married for about 50 years. The couple has two children and five grandchildren.
The man's actions were reportedly triggered by his wife's refusal to give him money for a specific purpose. He has a history of abusing his wife, with incidents occurring roughly every two or three months since 2020.
Further details about the case are available from Shin Min Daily News, which reported on the incident and the subsequent sentencing. A gag order is in place to protect the wife's identity.
