Lee Chun-jae, who confessed that his crime was the ‘serial murder case’ that terrorized the country in the 1980s, appeared in court today. It was not my own trial, but I was present as a “witness” at the trial to cover up the real culprit in the so-called “eighth case.” Lee Chun-jae also said in court: “He is the real culprit.” For more information, I’ll connect the reporter. Reporter Kim Kyung-soo Is the trial continuing right now? What statement did Chun-jae Lee make? His trial will take place at the Suwon District Court around 1:30 pm earlier. Lee Chun-jae, who wears a turquoise jumpsuit with short off-white hair, was called to the witness stand just after the trial began. Lee Chun-jae is said to be calmly answering questions from the lawyer who specifically asked about the crime confession process. Earlier, Lee Chun-jae answered “correct” to the question whether he was the real culprit in the serial killings in Hwaseong and Cheongju. Today’s trial is a trial to cover up the true culprit of a 13-year-old girl found dead after being raped at her home in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, in September 1988. Yoon Mo, who was previously caught as the culprit in this case, was sentenced to 20 years in prison and probation in 2009. Yoon, who was sentenced to life in prison in the first trial at the time, denied the charges in the second and third trials, saying, ‘I made a false confession because I was unable to win the coercive police investigation,’ but it was not accepted. Later, after the statute of limitations for the case ended, Lee Chun-jae belatedly confessed that he was the culprit, and Yoon filed for reconsideration in court last November. The court accepted the new trial and today the ninth trial is held. Previously, the DNA of the core evidence that would cover the true criminal was damaged over the years and the excitement became impossible, so the court decided to call Lee Chun-jae as a witness. It’s not his own trial, but I’m interested in what Lee Chun-jae will say, who appeared in court 34 years after the first serial murder case and was revealed to the public. It should be noted if today we will talk about other crimes other than the eighth case related to the trial. Lee Chun-jae is currently serving a life sentence on charges of rape and murder of his sister-in-law and abandonment of the body and is serving a sentence in Busan Prison. However, it is a matter of great social concern, and it has already been decided that Lee Chun-jae’s personal information has been disclosed. Can’t Lee Chun-jae’s appearance at today’s trial be disclosed to the media? Because yes, the court did not allow filming in court. The court heard that Lee Chun-jae was a witness, not a defendant at the trial. According to the Law on the Organization of Courts, filming may be allowed before the start of the trial or at the time of the trial, if necessary in the public interest or with the consent of the accused. However, the court decided that Lee Chun-jae did not meet the requirements. Since Lee Chun-jae is a witness, not the accused, and appears on the stand after the trial begins, there is no basis for permission to film before the trial begins. He also explained that it is not appropriate to maintain order. Instead, the court installed a camera in the 501st Court where the trial was held in preparation for the possibility of the hearing requests being crowded, so that other courts could see it. So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has handed it over. ※ ‘Your report becomes news’ YTN is waiting for your valuable report.
