A woman in her 50s who allegedly attempted to kill her husband by severing what local news reports call an “important piece of his anatomy” at a cafe in Ganghwa County, Incheon, had help not only from her son-in-law but also from her daughter, prosecutors revealed Monday.
The Incheon District Prosecutors’ Office indicted the 57-year-old woman and her son-in-law, a man in his 30s, on charges including attempted murder, according to the prosecution on Monday.
Prosecutors also indicted the woman’s daughter without detention, on charges of violating the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information. She is accused of helping track the victim’s location.
The 57-year-old woman is accused of repeatedly stabbing her husband, a man also in his 50s, in the face and arms and severing “an important body part” with a bladed weapon at a cafe in Ganghwa County, Incheon, around 1 a.m. on Aug. 1. The cafe is run by the son-in-law.

During questioning, the woman claimed she committed the act because she suspected her husband of infidelity. Prosecutors believe she exhibited symptoms of delusional jealousy and developed an obsessive fixation on her husband, which culminated in the attack.
