A 13-year-old girl was found dead after a sexual assault in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do in 1988.
Yesterday (day 2) a new trial was held to conceal the real culprit in this case and the news that Lee Chun-jae appeared as a witness.
I left the words ‘I am the real offender’ and ‘I apologize to the victims’, but I will connect with the reporter by phone and hear more details. Reporter Kim Kyung-soo!
First of all, let’s take a quick look at why Lee Chun-jae appeared at the trial yesterday.
[기자]Lee Chun-jae is currently sentenced to life in prison for another murder and is serving in Busan Prison.
The statute of limitations for the serial killings in Hwaseong and Cheongju, which he confessed last year, has now expired.
Lee Chun-jae attended the trial yesterday as a ‘witness’ to the reconsideration of the ‘eighth case’ mentioned by the presenter.
Moo Yoon, who was previously charged in this case, claimed to have made a false confession due to coercion from the police at the time, but it was not accepted and was eventually sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Yoon’s request for a new trial was accepted only after Lee Chun-jae belatedly confessed to his crime last year, and the ninth trial was held yesterday.
When the DNA of the core evidence to reveal the real culprit was damaged after a long time, and the emotion became impossible, the court called Lee Chun-jae as a witness.
[앵커]34 years after the first serial murder case in 1986, Lee Chun-jae appeared to the public.
[기자]Yesterday’s trial took place in Suwon District Court from 1:30 pm.
Lee Chun-jae, who was escorted from Busan Prison and waiting at the Suwon District Attorney’s office, was brought to the witness stand immediately after the trial began.
He wore a mask with a turquoise shroud and his hair was short and sporty.
The hair is white all over and the wrinkles around the eyes make her look like 30 years old.
However, the eyes looked similar to past photos that were already released.
There will be many people who will be curious about Lee Chun-jae’s current appearance, but filming was not allowed at this trial.
If necessary in the public interest or with the consent of the accused, permission to film may be granted before the start of the trial or at the time of sentencing.
Instead, the courts have placed judgment screens in one of the other courts so that as many people as possible can be heard.
[앵커]So, tell us about the statements that Lee Chun-jae made in court yesterday.
At that time, the police investigation was also mentioned
[기자]First, when asked if he was the real culprit for the serial killings in the Hwaseong and Cheongju areas, Lee Chun-jae replied, ‘That’s correct.’
In the ‘eighth case’, which is directly related to yesterday’s trial, he also detailed the situation at the time of the crime, saying that what he had done was correct.
Furthermore, he admitted that the 1989 ‘Missing 9-year-old elementary school student on Mars’ incident was his own crime.
Overall, Lee Chun-jae, who continued her statement calmly, did not seem to feel guilty for her crime.
When asked about the motive for the crime, he said that he did not know why he committed it as a fire moth looking for fire.
In addition, he replied that he saw the movie “ Memories of Murder ” in prison, with the reason for his case, but it was not very inspiring.
There was also a story related to the police investigation at that time.
He said he didn’t cover up the crime well, but said he didn’t get on a dragon’s boat and that he thought it was a show-style investigation.
[앵커]If you look at the crime motive story, I don’t know if it’s authentic, but Lee Chun-jae first apologized to the victim and the relatives, right?
[기자]Lee Chun-jae reflected and said that he regretted the regret.
He said he wanted the victims and their families to find comfort and reassurance through his confession.
I also apologized to Yoon, who was wrongly accused of being incarcerated for 20 years.
Lee Chun-jae put down the witness newspaper and bowed his head towards Yoon.
Let’s hear the story of Yoon who heard Lee Chun-jae’s apology at trial.
[윤 모 씨 / 8차 사건 누명 피해자 : 이춘재 씨가 나와서 진실을 말해준 건 고마운 일인데 백 퍼센트는 만족하지 않아요. 솔직히 말해서. 하지만 그분이 양심적으로 얘길 해주니까 마음은 한쪽으론 홀가분하고. 재판이 잘 될 거라고 생각을 하니까 그렇게 생각합니다. 앞으로 결과는 끝까지 지켜봐야 되니까….]Now, the trial to cover up the real culprit of the eighth case is ahead of a trial by decision on the 19th, according to Lee Chun-jae’s witness newspaper.
For this day, the defendant’s newspaper, the statement of opinion of the prosecution and the final defense of the lawyer are scheduled.
The sentencing date has yet to be decided, but it is expected to be captured within this year.
So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has handed it over.
