Next, lawyer Park Jun-hyung said, “It is true that Lee Chun-jae’s confession helped, but it was possible because the party had been alive after 20 years of wrongful imprisonment.”
The eighth case of Lee Chun-jae was killed 32 years ago on September 16, 1988 in Jinan-ri, Taean-eup, Hwaseong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, after a 13-year-old high school student, Park Amugae, was sexually assaulted.
Yoon, who was arrested for being a criminal, was sentenced to life in prison at the first trial. He later denied the crime, saying he made a false confession under police coercion, but neither the second nor the third admitted it.
Yun subsequently served 20 years in prison and was paroled in 2009. In November last year, after Lee Chun-jae confessed that “I am the real offender in the eighth case,” the court filed a new trial. .
On the 2nd of last month, Lee Chun-jae, the criminal in the serial murder case, attended Yun’s trial as a witness and confessed that he was the murderer of 14 serial murders in Hwaseong and Cheongju, including the eighth case.
The prosecution has sought innocence in a trial by decision on the 19th of last month, saying: “It was clearly confirmed that the defendant was not the real criminal in the eighth case of Lee Chun-jae.” He bowed his head to convey the meaning of an apology.
