"In October 2007, she took out two life insurance policies with which she stood to receive 450 million won if her husband died.

About a week later, she reported to police that she found her husband dead in the living room of their house after he fell asleep the previous night following drinking with her brother."


Geez, lady, ever hear of subtlety?

There are so many easy ways to get away with murder scott free and you hear stories like these makes you wonder how they managed to graduate.

There are accessible drugs that can be admisitred that almost tracelessly induce heart attacks. If people are going to commit murder they have to plan it out better. I mean, jesus christ she used a needle. The marks are evident if foul play is suspected. She could have slowly poisoned him or at least created a solid alibi for herself. I mean, a more believable story is that he was drunk, making a sandwhich, and landed on a knife.

At least in that case there is reasonable doubt that you did it. A nurse with access to the drugs that killed him, is damning. If she was smart, she at the very minium should have poisoned him slowly.

The most important part of murdering someone is making yourself look 100% innocent by knowing how detectives and the police trace things back and how to avoid them. Or throwing out red herrings to deflect their trace. Police and detectives like to choose the path of highest probability ... class

She should've placed a fan blowing at her husband before calling the cops.

Umm, you realize we are talking about murder here. Maybe we shouldn't be hypothesizing how to commit one. Just a thought here.

Actually, an artifical heart attack is a bad way to go. She is a nurse so any medically related death would be suspect immediately.

What she SHOULD have done, was created a non-medical related death. Anything connecting her knowledge of medicine to his death would create immediate suspicion.

Possibly a drunk related accident, or anything connecting his bad habits to death. Like getting drunk with Soju, it's not a far stretch to have someone like that die by falling into an accident. Getting hit in public.

Personally, I think sucidie would have been good grounds to enhance her innocence. She could say her husband admitted he was a failure and wanted to commit sucide to give their family the insurance money. That's a believable story and foul play is less likely to be suspected because the logic of taking out the insurance policy is supported with this theory. So there are no open questions that police would be willing to investigate. Foul play would still exist but would be MUCH harder to prove with proper motive and almost impossible to pinpoint if it was actually suiciide or murder.

I guess this story won't be making it on Dexter anytime soon...
