55 year old Nyuk Hwang is being sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of beating her husband to death with a curtain rod. According to a statement of facts, she beat him over and over with a shower curtain rod, a two-by-four piece of wood, a stone pestle and a yellow wooden stick and a metal broom handle.  Apparently the two were arguing over his gambling addiction.

Nyuk Hwang and her husband Teck Hwang who was 56 had been married for 27 years and it was reported that Teck was abused by his wife for a long time before she finally beat him to death.

Nyuk and Teck have an adult son. I can’t even imagine what he’s going through.
