It was confirmed that Yu-jeong Yoo, 37, who is incarcerated in Jeju Prison for damaging the body after murdering her ex-husband, applied for emergency disaster assistance last month. Yu-jeong Yoo submitted an application after being sentenced to life in prison at the appeal trial on July 15, but was not eligible for the payment because it is not a single household.

According to Cheongju City, North Chungcheong Province, on the 10th, Yu-jeong Yoo was recently included in the list of ‘applicants for emergency disaster assistance for inmates’ received from the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice sent a request to a local government identified as the address of its resident registry after receiving a request for emergency disaster assistance from inmates of single homes incarcerated in correctional facilities across the country for a month in August. .

Upon receipt of the application, the relevant local government will issue an Onnuri gift certificate worth 400,000 won after checking whether it is a double payment or a single household. In correctional facilities, emergency disaster support funds paid in the form of gift certificates are administered on behalf of prisoners in accordance with the Money and Money Management Guidelines. The voucher is valid for 5 years. If released within this period, the prisoner can receive and use it, or if the incarceration period is prolonged, the family can receive it for their use.

An official from Jeju Prison said: “In early August, we received a list of applicants for disaster assistance for one-person households and submitted a request for specific precision.” “The applicant wrote his address and name and sent it. I mailed it. ”

However, Yu-jeong Yoo does not receive the disaster grants. Kim In-yong, head of the Cheongju Basic Livelihood Security Team, said: “The disaster support fund is supported by individual households, but as a result of Mr. Ko’s confirmation, it was excluded from the payment because it did not it was one home. ” Cheongju City excluded 130 of the 400 applicants, including Yujeong. Onnuri gift certificates will be sent by certified mail to the remaining 270 people who have been confirmed as payment targets.

Yoo Goo-jeong, who lived in Cheongju, is on trial on charges of destruction and disposal of the body after stabbing her ex-husband with a gun at a boarding house in Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si, in May last year. Yoo Goo-jeong was sentenced to life imprisonment as the first trial on charges of murder, damage to the corpse, and concealment of the corpse at the hearing of the First Criminal Division in Jeju, Gwangju High Court on July 15.
