English Summary (Rephrased)
A woman in her 20s has been sentenced to seven years in prison by the Busan District Court for attempting to murder her mother-in-law during a domestic argument. The incident occurred on April 25 at the family’s home in Busan amid a phone dispute between the woman and her husband concerning financial matters. The situation escalated when the mother-in-law intervened and remarked, “A woman shouldn’t be so loud,” which enraged the woman. In a sudden burst of anger, she strangled and repeatedly stabbed her mother-in-law with a kitchen knife.
The court noted that the woman had previously been convicted of a violent offense in October 2020 and had only been released from prison in July 2024. The attack occurred less than a year after her release. Although she turned herself in shortly after committing this attack, her prior violent record significantly influenced the court’s sentencing. The judge emphasized that while the crime appeared impulsive, the woman’s intent to kill was evident, and the victim endured severe physical harm and emotional trauma. Due to her status as a repeat offender, the court did not view her voluntary surrender as a mitigating factor.
