Daejeon High Court lifts sentence of ’20 years in prison ‘
30-year-old girlfriend murdered for sex crime
Daejeon High Court First Criminal Division (Presiding Judge Lee Jun-myeong) was sentenced to 25 years in prison after violating the court sentence of 20 years in prison in an appeal trial against Mr. A (36), accused murder and damage to the corpse.
Mr. A is accused of killing friend B (36) wielding a gun at a motel in Seo-gu, Daejeon, around 1 pm on March 3. It is also suspected that Mr. A damaged the body of the murdered Mr. B by cutting it and placing it in a plastic bag.
The judge ruled that “the defendant alleges an accidental crime, but prepared a weapon in advance and swung it dozens of times for the victim.” .
He continued: “(Due to the issue of his girlfriend’s near rape), he recklessly took the life of his old friend through intense revenge and hostile feelings,” he said. “I doubt that the defendant is reflecting on his crime.”
“The survivor appeals to severe punishment, lives with an apology to the victim”
The judge explained that “the defendant killed the victim before the trial of the cause of quasi-violation of the victim took place, thus eliminating the possibility of exercising the right to the legitimate national penalties stipulated by the judicial system” .
The judge also said: “The possibility of recidivism (of the accused) is high, and there is a high possibility of committing a crime of murder again.”
Previously, Daejeon District Court 11 Criminal Division (Deputy Judge Kim Yong-chan), who was in charge of the first trial, sentenced him to 20 years in prison last July for the purpose of cruelly planning the crime. and ordered 10 years to place an electronic location tracking device (electronic ankle brace).
Immediately after the sentence of the first trial, the prosecution appealed, saying: “The sentence is too light.” Rather, Mr A filed an appeal claiming that the sentence was “too harsh”.
Mr. A claimed that a friend whom he had known for 30 years during the prosecution investigation and the police semi-raped his girlfriend, but he did not apologize or reflect on him and he committed the crime. The court found that Mr. B’s appointment as a lawyer and his disabled trial also contributed to the crime.
B, who died, drank alcohol with Mr. A and Mr. A’s girlfriend, C, at a bar in Daejeon last September. He then moved to the nearby house of Mr. C and drank more, and while Mr. A slept, he was charged without custody for almost raping Mr. C, and was about a month before the trial.
In October last year, Mr. A also published a petition in the Blue House National Petitions Bulletin titled ‘A Friend Who Raped My Girlfriend for 30 Years.’ In the petition, Mr. A said: “He was a precious friend who could not change with anything. She met when she was five years old and was her best friend until she was 36. ”
