I wonder whether there will be any protests in Korea against this. The man in the story is British and he killed his Korean wife during a row. He dismembered her body and put her in the freezer, before going to Japan. He was convicted of manslaughter.

Dalton said his Korean-born wife, with whom he ran a language school in Kingston, had tormented him for years and told him she only married him for the visa.
"I was scared of her. Everyone was scared of her," he told the jury.
Dalton's parents found the body at his home in south-west London
During the row in May 2004, he said she lunged at him and he hit her in a blind panic. |
Oh, lordy. I think I worked for her once. |

The Guardian
A teacher whose wife's dismembered body was found in a freezer was charged with her murder last night.
Paul Dalton, 34, was arrested at Heathrow airport on Monday afternoon - two weeks after body parts of his Korean-born wife were found at the couple's home in Kingston upon Thames, south-west London.
The couple had been married for seven years and ran a language school in Kingston.
Mr Dalton, who met his wife Tae Hui at university, has a master's degree in microbiology and several qualifications in teaching English as a foreign language.
The school's website reveals that he first taught English in Korea, specialising in preparing students for university.
He returned to Britain in 1997 and the couple married in January that year in Islington, north London.
Dalton was due to appear before Kingston magistrates today charged with the murder on or before May 23. |

Dalton, who said she treated him like a slave, told the jury: "She always got what she wanted. I was scared of her. Everyone was scared of her."
The couple ran a language school in Kingston that he set up, but the defendant said she denied him a wage and also took his passport to stop him leaving, stalking him when he tried to escape.
During the fateful row, he said his wife told him she had only married for "the visa". |

Sound familiar, anyone? Don't let this happen to you. |

What would you have done if you were in his shoes?

He got more for stuffing her body in the freezer than for bringing about her death. That seems strange to me. |

| I think I understand why they did it. One of the jurors must have worked in a hagwon. |

It is strange, but remember that the U.K. is a country where in the case of a burglary and rape at a vicarage, the lesser sentence went to the rapist. Please don't try to make sense of the U.K. justice system, there isn't any. Our appointed judges are often senile. |

In this case the man was convicted by a jury of manslaughter. The judge just passed down sentence in acordance with the tariffs handed down by the home office. |

Um...Leave? Dump her? Report her to Immigration? Divorce?
Kill her (accidentally, maybe) and chop her up? I don't think so.
The guy is a loser and deserves a lot more than 5 years. |

The guy wasn't a loser, the guy was doing what a lot of people on this forum want to do:
1. Get a Korean wife.
2. Move back home into a big house.
3. Open your own language school at home.
He did all of these things, unfortunately, she turned out to be a devil in disguise. Having dealt with Korean women, hagwon owners and landladies I sympathise with him. As a matter of fact, so did the judge. |

My sympathies run dry for a guy who punches a woman so hard that she chokes to death on her own blood.
A psychopath and a coward.
The judge indeed sympathised with him, but then they sympathise with child rapists too.
Pyongshin Sangja, think for a minute. Can you honestly imagine yourself doing that?
The guy deserved at least 10-15 years. I would actually say life in prison myself.
I wonder why criminals in the U.K. aren't scared of the consequences of their actions... hmm.. scratches head.. |
