Stabbing and attempted murder on Geoga Bridge by ex-lover
Jealousy
The incident reflects a pattern of obsessive jealousy and escalating violence following a breakup attempt by the victim. The suspect's inability to accept the breakup led to a violent confrontation involving stabbing and an attempted murder by pushing the victim off a bridge. This case fits within known dynamics of stalking and domestic conflict among dating partners.
Police arrested the suspect on the scene shortly after the incident. CCTV footage from the Geoje Bridge captured the attempted push into the sea, providing strong evidence. The victim escaped with minor injuries. The investigation is ongoing with charges of attempted murder. The case highlights the dangers of obsessive behavior in intimate relationships.
No significant confusion reported; suspect was arrested on site and CCTV evidence supports the sequence of events.
The couple, dating for about three years, went on a one-night trip. Early morning on October 15, 2025, the victim expressed a desire to break up during the return trip on Geoje Bridge. A fight ensued; the suspect stabbed the victim in the face and neck and attempted to push her into the sea. The victim fended off the attack and escaped. Police arrived promptly and arrested the suspect. CCTV footage corroborates the attempted murder.
High risk due to escalation from verbal conflict to physical violence and attempted murder, with evidence of stalking and obsession.
Clear and immediate communication of breakup intentions may reduce risk of escalation. Obsessive and stalking behaviors in dating relationships can rapidly escalate to violence. Early intervention and awareness of red flags such as threats and stalking are critical.
The victim's decision to break up and the suspect's obsessive reaction were key early signals.
The fight on the bridge, stabbing injuries, and attempted push into the sea were critical clues connecting the incident to attempted murder.
CCTV footage from the Geoje Bridge showing the attempted push into the sea was the strongest evidence.
