A late-night drinking session in Greater Noida turned tragic when a South Korean national was fatally stabbed by his live-in partner from Manipur. The police have arrested the woman and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
What began as a late-night drinking session inside a plush Greater Noida apartment spiralled into a deadly confrontation, leaving a South Korean national dead and his live-in partner from Manipur under arrest for murder.
The incident surfaced in Uttar Pradesh’s Greater Noida on Sunday, when GIMS Hospital alerted the police that a foreign national had been brought in with fatal stab injuries. By the time doctors examined him, he was already dead.
Cops rushed to the hospital and launched an investigation.
The deceased was identified as Duck Jee Yuh, a South Korean citizen. He was working as a branch manager with a reputed mobile phone company, police said.
The woman who rushed him to the hospital was identified as Lunjeana Pamai, a resident of Manipur. During sustained questioning, she confessed to stabbing her live-in partner with a knife.
Police said the couple had been living together for the past two years.
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 seriousness of the injury, she took him to GIMS Hospital. Doctors, however, declared him dead on arrival. A memo was sent to the police early in the morning, following which the full sequence of events came to light.
The police said, “A South Korean national, Duck Hee Yuh, was brought dead to GIMS Hospital on January 4, 2026. Preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased was admitted to the hospital by Lunjeana Pamai, a resident of Thangal, Manipur. During the investigation, police found that the accused woman had allegedly stabbed him to death with a knife. The two had been living together in a live-in relationship for a considerable period. A case has been registered at the Knowledge Park Police Station, and the accused woman has been arrested. Further investigation into the circumstances and motive behind the murder is currently underway.”
Police probing the case said the relationship was far from smooth. The South Korean national allegedly drank heavily and frequently assaulted the woman, leading to repeated arguments between the two.
The accused told police she did not intend to kill him and that the stabbing happened during the altercation. Officers said they are verifying her claims as part of the ongoing investigation.
