Sunny Park knew the grisly fate that awaited her and her family. She didn't know when or how it would occur. But she knew who her killer would be - and she knew police could do nothing about it.

She sat in the police interrogation room, already a broken woman, as she told officers that her husband was going to kill her. A white bandage on her nose was clearly visible, as was the bruise on her face. Her arm was in a sling.

Park had just survived the first attempt on her life, in which her husband deliberately rammed their vehicle into a pole.

The police interview was conducted in June last year. Park's words were deadly calm as she told the officer what her husband said to her just before the car struck the pole.
