About a minute ago, we received a report from Gwangtan-myeon, Paju-si that “the wife was unconscious” and were dispatched to the scene. When the ambulance arrived
Ms. A, a teenage woman, was sitting in a recliner chair covered with a blanket, and her entire body was covered in sewage.
The lower extremities were in a state of deep bedsores and infection, leading to skin necrosis.
Mr. A suffered a cardiac arrest while being transported to the hospital, and despite emergency treatment, the next day
passed away on the 1st.
The hospital’s medical staff suspected neglect based on serious bedsores and immediately reported it to the police. Afterwards, the husband, Sergeant B, was urgently arrested on charges of heavy oil use, and considering his status as a soldier, the case was transferred to the military police.
According to the results of the investigation, it was determined that Boss B had not provided medical treatment to his wife, who had difficulty moving due to depression and panic disorder since last August. Although the bedsores had been worsening for about three months, the patient was not taken to the hospital.

The bereaved family said, “Mr. A was found sitting in a recliner chair, and it appeared that he had been neglected for several months,” and, “There were necrosis all over his body and it was even full of maggots.” He continued, ““My younger brother, who was relatively chubby, was so thin that his bones were visible.”
According to the family, Boss B is known to have contacted his mother-in-law every day, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m taking good care of my wife.” Also, when family members express their intention to visit, “My wife suffers from panic disorder and has seizures and collapses when she meets people.” It is said that he tried to dissuade his family by saying, “If I come home, I will kill you.”
During the investigation, Boss B is said to have made a statement to the effect, “My wife smoked deodorant and incense sticks to the point that my head hurt, so I couldn’t smell the rotting smell.”
The bereaved family called for a thorough investigation, saying, “It was not simple abandonment, but in fact murder due to neglect.”
