omonatheydidA Vietnamese woman was stabbed to death by her Korean husband in eastern South Korea early Tuesday, just 19 days after she gave birth to a baby, Vietnam News Agency reported.
The murder of the 23-year-old woman, whose family name is Hoang, occurred in their home in Cheongdo County in North Gyeongsang Province, Kim Teok-hwan, Cheongdo’s police officer told VNA.
Following tips from the neighbors of the couple, local police arrived at the crime scene and arrested the 37-year-old husband, whose family name is Im.
The husband confessed to police that he stabbed his wife during an argument.
He said Hoang had repeatedly demanded a divorce and planned to run away with the baby on Monday night, which led to their fight.
Hoang arrived in South Korea in April 2010 and gave birth to the baby 19 days ago.
The Vietnamese Embassy in South Korea is verifying the victim’s identity.
Local police have carried out an autopsy on the woman under the witness of the embassy’s officers.
Last July, Jang Do Hyo, a mentally ill South Korean man killed his 20-year-old Vietnamese wife, Thach Thi Hoang Ngoc, just eight days after she arrived in the country. He was later sentenced to 12 years in jail.
Following the case, South Korea pledged to make Korean men looking to marry foreign women undergo a cultural education program and announced tougher rules for matchmakers arranging foreign marriages.
More than a third of South Korean fishermen and farmers who married in 2009 chose immigrant brides, some because they were unable to find local women prepared to lead a rural lifestyle, according to an AFP report.

I wonder if that really happened because of interculturality problems. If that's the case, there is a SRS cultural pbm in korea, I mean more srs than I thought it was.

It just reminds me of white guys in America with asian mail order brides who treat them like shit because of the double whammy of gender imbalance and cultural imbalance (he's wealthier than her; she's isolated in a country where she can't speak the language and is subject to racism/has little or no support outside of her husband, etc.)

cultural misunderstandings can be frustrating...and can definitely lead to arguments but if someone is capable of killing another person over it, there must be something already wrong with them.

Date: 2011-05-24 07:40 pm (UTC)I guess that's a step in the right direction, but racially diverse education should begin at 1st grade or earlier. By the time a person is an adult, or even in 5th grade, they've already formed a lot of permanent opinions about people that look a certain way that they will live with for the rest of their lives.

Date: 2011-05-25 05:54 am (UTC)Question though: if someone with autism, dyslexia or dyspraxia and killed someone, would they be given 12 years? I don't get how it's justified that someone with "mental issues" doesn't get the death sentence or life imprisonment even though they killed someone. Dude, you're going to let someone who apparently can't think for themselves logically back into society where they can kill people again? What the fuck is wrong with you? And it's not just in Korea, but everywhere in the world.
"I can haz mental problems and kill people, h33h33z."
Some of those with mental issues kill because of self defence, because they felt threatened and couldn't control their reactions, okay. But those fuckers who claim that they didn't know what they were doing? Yeah, usually murderers have no idea what they are doing, especially if it's their first time.
I don't think justice was or will be served for this Vietnamese women who lost their lives because of tossers who lost their mind and think they have the right to kill.
Murder can never be justified, whether you're mentally sane or not, even if it's for self-defence.
