Wife Mixed Antidepressants with Soju, Prosecuted

The Gwangju North District Police have sent a Vietnamese migrant woman in her 30s, referred to as A, to the prosecution on charges of assault without detention.

A is accused of mixing her antidepressants into soju and administering it to her estranged husband, B.

The incident occurred on the 23rd of last month when A visited her husband's house to see their children. During this visit, she crushed three pills of her antidepressants and mixed them into a soju bottle. She then made her husband drink about four glasses.

B testified during the police investigation that he "fell asleep suddenly after drinking." Fortunately, it was confirmed that B did not experience any significant health issues.

However, overdosing on antidepressants can lead to serious side effects, including seizures, coma, and arrhythmia, and in severe cases, it can result in cardiac arrest and death.

The reason behind A's actions has not yet been revealed. The police plan to conduct a more thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
