Former Gimpo Council Member Murders Wife with Golf Club

Here is a horrible soju fueled murder that occurred in Gimpo. I wonder if he will use the I was drunk offense to get his jail time reduced?:

Yoo Seung-hyun, the former speaker of the Gimpo, Gyeonggi, metropolitan council, admitted to beating his wife to death with a golf club at their home on Wednesday.

Yoo, 55, told police that he drank at least two bottles of soju with his wife from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at their home in Gimpo on Wednesday. 

After they got in a heated argument, he began physically abusing his wife, punching her and beating her with a golf club. 

“I hit her in the kitchen and then she moved into the bedroom, but I didn’t hear her move after that,” he told the police. “We didn’t get along because of some major personality differences and other issues.

“I didn’t think that she could die from it,” he told the police. Yoo reported his wife’s death to authorities on Wednesday, dialing 119 and saying, “My wife is not breathing.”
