A 47-year-old South Korean national was stabbed to death in Noida, allegedly by his live-in partner, police said.

The victim, identified as Duck Hee Yuh, was living with his girlfriend in a high-rise residential society in Sector-150, Noida. He was found dead at GIMS Hospital on January 4 following the stabbing.

The victim was working as a branch manager with a reputed mobile phone company, police said.

Police arrested the accused, Lunjeana Pamai, a resident of Manipur, who was in a live-in relationship with Yuh.

According to investigators, the couple was consuming alcohol late into the night when an argument erupted over an undisclosed issue. The verbal spat soon escalated into a physical confrontation.

“In a fit of rage during the scuffle, the woman stabbed him in the chest. The wound was deep and he began bleeding heavily," a police officer said.

Realising the severity of his injuries, she rushed him to GIMS Hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival. Police were informed early in the morning, after which the full sequence of events emerged.
