Young Vietnamese bride killed by Korean husband
Police in Gangwon province, the Republic of Korea, are investigating a case in which a 36-year-old Korean man strangled his 21-year-old Vietnamese wife to death and later killed himself with poison.
The tragedy happened on the morning of January 14, when the mother of the man found him lying dead in the family’s storage room and reported the case to police.
When police arrived, they discovered the man’s Vietnamese wife lying dead in the couple’s bedroom.
After performing autopsies on the two bodies, police have initially concluded that the man strangled his wife to death and then went to the storage room where he killed himself by drinking a toxic substance.
The couple may have had a quarrel that led to the man’s violence, police said.
The couple had a 5-month-old child.
The dead woman is Ngo Thi Nga, who was born in 1993 in Vietnam’s northern city of Hai Phong.
Nga left Vietnam to go to the RoK with her husband in November 2012.
During the time Nga was living with her husband’s family in the province’s Hongcheon County, many conflicts frequently occurred between the couple as well as between Nga and her husband’s family.
Nga’s older sister also married a Korean man, who she lives with in Seoul.
The Vietnamese Embassy in the RoK is contacting local authorities and Nga’s family to get further information about the heartbreaking case and discuss steps to handle it.
The embassy said it will support Nga’s family in Vietnam to go to the RoK to receive Nga’s body as soon as possible.
