In South Korea, less than 1 of over 16,800 domestic violence reports, of which more than 75 of the victims were women, led to suspects being taken into custody in 2017. — 123rf.com

AN “angry” man in South Korea stabbed his ex-wife to death four years after their divorce, and his three daughters have since filed an open petition demanding his execution.

“We want to solely live and remain as the victim’s daughters, not the criminal’s,” the three daughters said in a recent newspaper interview, saying the suspect severely abused their mother before and after their divorce. “We want the toughest punishment available imposed on him.”
