, ‘ The Seoul Northern District Court’s Criminal Conciliation Division 13 (Chief Judge Lee Tae-woong) sentenced Mr. Park, who was indicted on charges of causing fatal injury, to 10 years in prison on the 23rd.’,
,
, ‘ The court explained, “The crime is cruel and of very bad nature, as it indiscriminately caused harm to a spouse with whom he had lived for over 30 years, ultimately leading to death.”‘,
,
, ‘ The court criticized, “Considering the victim’s age, physique, etc., she is judged as a vulnerable victim to the crime,” and “Various unfavorable circumstances in the substantive investigation process after the crime have been confirmed.”‘,
,
, ‘ Mr. Park is accused of beating his 70-year-old wife to death at their home in Jongno-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul on February 12. It is reported that Mr. Park became angry because his wife did not open the front door.’,
,
, ‘ Mr. Park claimed during the trial that he only hit his wife’s forehead or cheek a few times with his palm, but the court did not accept this explanation, citing evidence of various traces of assault such as rib fractures, oral cavity rupture, etc., found all over the victim’s body.’,
