A man who drove a Rolls-Royce vehicle under the influence of drugs and rushed into the sidewalk, killing a woman in her 20s, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Charges such as drug driving were confirmed by the Supreme Court, but the charge of running away was not admitted until the end.

Reporter Kim Chul-hee reports.

In August last year, a 29-year-old man surnamed Shin killed a woman in her 20s when she hit a sidewalk while driving a Rolls-Royce in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul.

Shin had an accident after receiving psychotropic drugs at a nearby plastic surgery clinic just before the accident, but he did not show any signs of proper remorse, causing great public anger.

Since then, Shin, who was charged with not only drug driving but also "dangerous driving manslaughter" and "running manslaughter," was convicted of all charges in the first trial and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

However, the second trial sentenced Shin to 10 years in prison, saying that the charge of escape death could not be applied, and the Supreme Court also confirmed the ruling.Although

Shin left the scene, considering the fact that he/she returned in three minutes after visiting the hospital where he/she received the procedure, he/she cannot be considered to have intention to escape.

In addition, it is difficult to say that Shin's brief departure from the scene led to delays in relief measures for victims.The case of

'Apgujeong Rolls-Royce' is considered a representative example of medical drug administration leading to secondary crimes, and the prescription of such medical drugs is on the rise.

According to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, 19.91 million people were prescribed medical drugs last year alone, and only 42 medical professionals committed drug crimes in 2017, but it has steadily increased since then, exceeding 300 last year.
