A woman is being charged for the murder of her ex-husband, who allegedly said he was not responsible for their divorce.

The ex-wife claims the divorce was due to the victim’s extramarital affair.

The Gyeonggi Uijeongbu Police said Wednesday that the 54-year-old accused had turned herself in after stabbing and killing the 56-year-old victim at 12.30 a.m. on Tuesday night in their house.

Following their divorce last year, the two had recently started living together again.

The woman told the police that she and the victim had been drinking and talking about the circumstances that had led to their divorce.

The victim had allegedly denied any responsibility for the end of their marriage, which made the woman angry.

The police plan to request a warrant to officially detain the woman.
