[lebkuchen]

SEOUL — A U.S. Army major based at Yongsan Garrison was arrested early Tuesday morning after allegedly throwing a nude female body from a highway bridge outside the city.

South Korean police said Tuesday they arrested the officer, whom they identified as Maj. Richard Hart, 45, on an expressway between Seoul and Incheon International Airport around 4 a.m.

Two South Korean news reports said the body was the officer’s wife. South Korean police officials would confirm only that it was a Caucasian woman who appeared to be in her 30s

2. Update

Oh said Hart was questioned by Korean police through a translator. Hart told police he punched his wife after an argument Saturday, Oh said.

Hart subsequently left the house and returned the same day, Oh said, adding that Hart indicated he saw his wife lying on the floor and left again.

Hart returned to the house late Monday or early Tuesday, and his wife’s body was still lying on the floor, Oh said.

Hart’s wife was visiting, as the officer was serving an
unaccompanied tour in South Korea, Boylan said.

Bush is planning to make army tours in Europe and Korea all unaccompanied. He will destroy the military family.

What kind of husband would punch his wife, leave, come back and find her on the floor, then leave again? This guy sounds like Grade A slime.
