A metal wire was reportedly wrapped around the neck of the man&#8217;s frozen corpse when it was discovered.<\/p>\n<p>The local police station recovered the body and identified the man as a drug addict with a past history of family troubles. The police began focusing their investigation on the man&#8217;s wife.<\/p>\n<p>At first, she testified that her husband had gone out to buy drugs but failed to return. Later, however, the woman confessed that she and her brother had killed him.<\/p>\n<p>The police concluded that on the day of the murder, the man had taken the family&#8217;s TV out to sell and had gotten into a serious fight with his wife upon his return home. His wife called her brother and the two proceeded to beat the man to death.<\/p>\n<p>The man&#8217;s wife and her brother placed his body on the street and wrapped steel wire around his neck to make it seem like he had been killed by a mugger.<\/p>\n<p>The wife&#8217;s brother is currently undergoing a &#8220;preliminary examination&#8221; by the police. Preliminary examinations include the entire interrogation process prior to suspects being indicted.<\/p>\n<p>The wife may face leniency given the &#8220;suffering&#8221; inflicted upon her because of her husband&#8217;s drug addiction, sources said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-post-content\">\n<p>The murder follows another killing of a remittance broker in Hyesan&#8217;s Hyegang District <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/north-korean-woman-murdered-hyesan\/\">earlier this month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/%EC%BD%94%EB%A1%9C%EB%82%98%EB%A1%9C-%EC%96%B4%EC%88%98%EC%84%A0%ED%95%9C-%EB%B6%84%EC%9C%84%EA%B8%B0%EC%97%90-%EA%B0%95%EB%8F%84%EC%82%B4%EC%9D%B8-%EC%82%AC%EA%B1%B4-%EB%B0%9C%EC%83%9D-%EC%A3%BC\/\"><em>Read in Korean<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 40-year-old man was killed in Hyesan, Ryanggang Province, after suffering from a severe beating by two of his relatives on Feb. 10. &#8220;A man suffering from a drug addiction spent all his family&#8217;s money on buying drugs and his wife and her brother beat him to death,&#8221; a Ryanggang Province-based source reported on Feb.
