60-Year-Old Man Receives Suspended Sentence for Threatening Wife with a Weapon

A 66-year-old man, referred to as A, has been sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for one year, by the Chuncheon District Court for threatening his wife, B, with a weapon. The court noted that the victim did not wish to pursue charges and that the injuries inflicted were not severe. The incident occurred on October 7 of last year at their home in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, where A allegedly threatened B with a knife and caused injuries to her face. The altercation reportedly stemmed from a dispute over the location of the TV remote control. Although the couple reached an agreement during the trial, the charge of special injury does not fall under the category of crimes that require the victim's consent for prosecution, leading to A's conviction.
