A 65-year-old California woman has been charged with m*rder after authorities allege she fatally attacked her husband with a flagpole inside their gated Palm Desert community. Deputies responded to a report of “unknown trouble” on Gateway Drive around 9:47 a.m. on Sept. 4. When they arrived, they found a person suffering from traumatic injuries consistent with a physical assault. The victim was pronounced d3ad at the scene. Authorities later identified Palm Desert resident Vicky Kim as the suspect, and she was arrested that same day. According to court documents obtained by SFGATE, Kim allegedly used a flagpole to inflict great bodily injury on her husband. His identity has not been publicly released. Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said the investigation remains ongoing. The case has drawn additional attention because prosecutors say Kim had previously faced several domestic violence charges involving her husband. Riverside County District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Molly Smith said prosecutors had charged Kim with a felony in January, obtained criminal protective orders and intended to aggressively prosecute the allegations. Smith said a judge later resolved those cases as misdemeanors, released Kim from custody and terminated the protective orders, despite prosecutors’ objections. Kim was scheduled to appear for arraignment on Sept. 11, but the hearing was postponed after a judge said she had not been medically cleared. Her arraignment is now scheduled for Sept. 14. It remains unclear whether she has an attorney. Kim and her husband reportedly lived at The Enclave, a gated condominium community in Palm Desert. Authorities are continuing to investigate what happened inside the home and are asking anyone with information to contact investigators. Do you think the earlier protective orders could have changed what happened? #TrueCrime #CrimeNews #CaliforniaCrime #BreakingNews #CrimeTok - @madison.blake65
