MURDER OR SELF-DEFENSE: POLICE HOLD WOMAN FOR HER HUSBAND’S DEATH.

The Irvine Police are holding a woman over the death of her husband.

Mr. Robert Kim was found dead in his kitchen at their home located at 600 block of Birch Street in Irvine on Thursday evening after police responded to distress calls from Mrs. Sandra Kim, police said.

The arrest of Mrs. Kim came after she gave conflicting accounts of her whereabouts at the time of the murder. It is alleged that Mrs. Kim had initially said that Mr. Kim, a businessman of Asian descent, had numerous enemies.

In addition, Robert had enormous debts, in which case his enemies could have murdered him. However, she allegedly became visibly agitated and nervous on further questioning, which added to the suspicions that the police had about the murder.

This was compounded by the fact that there were no signs of forced entry, which implied that the culprit had easy access to the house. Mrs. Kim admitted that she had shot her husband allegedly for self defense.

The family has, allegedly, been having some disagreements over the past few months with some of the disagreements disintegrating to physical fights. Mrs. Kim alleged that her husband had quarreled her for going out with her friends on the fateful night.

Feeling threatened, Mrs. Kim had retreated to the bathroom where she had hidden the short-gun. Mr. Kim, upon seeing his wife with a gun, allegedly, became violent. Mrs. Kim claims that she shot her husband at this point killing him instantly.

The police arrested her pending investigations on what really transpired, all in an effort to determine the true course of events. It remains to be seen what charges (if any) will be brought against Mrs. Kim, especially considering her conflicting accounts.
