Last November, the horrific truth behind the ‘Death of the Sergeant’s Wife in Paju’, which caused a public uproar, was revealed, leaving viewers in shock. The episode of SBS’s “Unanswered Questions” aired on the 13th titled “Love, Maggots, and Excuses” pursued the mystery of the death of Ms. Seon-a (a pseudonym). Her husband, Mr. Jeong, claimed he was unaware of her condition, but the circumstances revealed during the broadcast directly contradicted his claims.
According to “Unanswered Questions,” when emergency responders arrived, Ms. Seon-a’s condition was utterly horrific. Her entire body was contaminated with feces, decomposition had progressed to the point where maggots were infesting her wounds, and there were signs of external injuries, such as fractured ribs. An expert stated that the decomposition must have been ongoing for at least three months, and dismissed the husband’s claim that he was unaware of the rotting odor while living in the same space as impossible.
