Doctor Accused_ Why Did He Kill His Pregnant Wife_ _ The New Detectives

A pregnant woman lies dead in a bathtub. Her husband, a respected doctor, claims she slipped and broke her neck. The bruises on her body tell a different story. The DNA under her fingernails tells another. The prosecution wants an arrest warrant. The doctor says he is being denied time to grieve.The case, dubbed the Korean O.J. Simpson case by local media, began when police found the 29-year-old victim dead in her Mapo studio apartment [citation:4]. She was nine months pregnant. The husband, a physician at a renowned Seoul hospital, was unreachable. His phone was turned off [citation:4]. Investigators found suspicious scars and bruises across the victim's body, along with the husband's DNA in blood underneath her fingernails [citation:4]. The National Forensic Service concluded she likely suffocated to death.The husband offered an explanation: his wife suffered from eczema and scratched both of them to relieve the itch. The DNA, he claimed, got there when she scrubbed his back. The police and prosecution remain unconvinced, seeking an arrest warrant after an initial rejection [citation:4]. The New Detectives series has long explored such cases of "Bad Medicine" and "Broken Trust," where medical professionals betray their oaths and use their knowledge to hide murder [citation:1][citation:3]. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the doctor who was supposed to heal may have been the one who killed.
