Friday, January 30, 2026 - A woman in South Korea has been sentenced to seven years in prison for attacking her husband in a café and severing his pen!s in what prosecutors described as a premeditated assault driven by suspicion of infidelity.
The incident occurred in August 2024 at a coffee shop in the
Hwado-myeon district of Ganghwa Island. Court records show that the 50-year-old
man had been drinking alone at the café and had fallen asleep when the attack
took place
The woman, identified only as A and aged 58, was convicted
of special aggravated bodily harm. The court heard that she enlisted the help
of her 40-year-old son-in-law, identified as B, who entered the café and
restrained the victim using rope and industrial tape.
After the man was bound, A repeatedly stabbed him before
using a sharp object to sever his pen!s. She then flushed it down the café
toilet, eliminating the possibility of surgical reattachment, according to the
judgment.
Emergency responders later found the man and rushed him to
hospital, where he underwent surgery and survived. However, the court noted
that he sustained permanent physical and psychological injuries as a result of
the attack.
Despite the severity of the assault, the victim reached a
settlement with his wife and formally asked the court to show leniency during
sentencing. His request was taken into account.
A was sentenced to seven years in prison, while her
son-in-law received a four-year jail term for his role in restraining the
victim. Both were sentenced by the Incheon District Court in January.
Police told the court that the woman had planned the attack
after suspecting her husband of being unfaithful. Investigators revealed that
she had also involved her daughter in monitoring his movements.
The couple’s daughter was separately fined 3 million won
(about £1,514) after hiring an unlicensed private investigator to illegally
track her father using GPS technology.
