Yes, Park Hak-sun, who is accused of killing the woman he was dating and her daughter, was sentenced to life in prison in the first trial.

Park claimed it was an accidental murder all the way to court.

However, the court found that the method was persistent and brutal, saying that given the situation at the time and before the crime, it could be seen as a premeditated murder.

At the same time, Park’s crime is likely to be criticized in light of the growing awareness of social violence and the need for severe punishment.

Park also said, “There is still a lack of serious reflection or recognition of problems,” adding that no mental or physical weakness was found.

Park was accused of killing a 60-year-old woman and her 30-year-old daughter at an office in Gangnam, Seoul, in late May.

Park visited the office when the victim’s family was notified of the separation because he opposed the relationship and killed his daughter first, then killed the woman who ran away.

After the murder, he fled and was arrested by the police within 13 hours,
It was found that
he also committed crimes on a planned basis, such as calling his common-law spouse on a payphone and asking if the police were after him.

Since then, in June, personal information such as Park’s photo, name and age have been released due to the brutality of the crime and the severity of the injury.

A little later, the bereaved family of the victim holds a press conference.

I will get back to you with the details as soon as they come.

I am YTN Kwon Junsu from the Ministry of Social Affairs.
