Photo=Newsis, ‘The handwritten letter from Kim, the perpetrator of the ‘Incheon elementary school murder case,’ who lured and killed an 8-year-old elementary school student in 2017 and abandoned the body, has been revealed.’,
,
, ‘In the MBC documentary crime series ‘She Killed Him’ (co-produced by MBC and LG Uplus’s STUDIO X+U), which aired on the 2nd, Kim’s handwritten letter was made public.’,
,
, ‘In the letter, Kim stated, “I have decided to focus on what I can do from now on,” and “I haven’t made any plans or premature thoughts about what kind of life I will lead after my release, but I hope to continue my studies a bit further and then help others based on that.” He also expressed his desire to become someone who can provide assistance so that others do not make regrettable choices.’,
,
, ‘Kim was sentenced to 20 years in prison for luring elementary school student A (8 years old at the time) whom he met in a park in Incheon in 2017 to his home, murdering her, mutilating the body, and abandoning it.’,
,
, ‘At that time, there was criticism that Kim’s sentence was too lenient, but for juvenile offenders under the age of 18, the maximum penalty is 20 years in prison as they cannot receive the death penalty or life imprisonment.’,
,
, ‘On the other hand, Kim’s accomplice Park, who was charged with conspiring with Kim, planning the crime, and abandoning the victim’s body, received a life sentence in the first trial. He did not qualify for reduction of sentence due to being under 18 at the time of the crime.’,
,
, ‘However, the appellate court found it difficult to consider that Park conspired with Kim for murder, applying only the charge of aiding and abetting murder, and reduced his sentence to 13 years in prison, which was accepted by the Supreme Court.’,
,
, ‘Meanwhile, the main culprit Kim is scheduled to be released in 2037 when he turns 38, and the accomplice Park is scheduled to be released in 2030 when he turns 33.’,
