Park Hak-sun, who is accused of murdering a woman he was dating and her daughter, was sentenced to life imprisonment in the first trial.
The Seoul Central District Court sentenced 65-year-old Park to life in prison today (1st) on charges of murder.
The court judged that Park claimed an accidental crime, but considering the time and the situation before the crime, it could be seen as a premeditated murder, and that the method was also persistent and brutal.
Earlier, the prosecution asked the court to sentence Park to death in a final hearing in late September, saying it was an extreme murder case.
Park was accused of killing a woman in her 60s and her daughter in her 30s at an officetel in Gangnam, Seoul, in late May.
Park visited the office when the victim's family was notified of the breakup for opposing the relationship, and killed her daughter first and then killed the woman who ran away.
