Park Dae-sung, who killed a teenage woman on the road with a weapon in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, was sentenced to life imprisonment.
The Gwangju District Court's Suncheon Branch sentenced Park, who was indicted on charges of murder and preliminary murder, to life imprisonment and ordered the attachment of electronic devices for 20 years.
The court found Park guilty of both murder and preliminary murder charges.
The court judged that Park identified a teenage woman and prepared a weapon, and even after the crime, she looked for additional targets in bars and karaoke rooms, but gave up the additional crime due to accidental circumstances, such as having other customers.
In addition, he explained that the consequences of the crime are very serious, and the accused's crime and motive for the crime are very poor, and he cannot see self-reflection.
Earlier, the prosecution asked the court to impose the death penalty, the highest sentence in the court, saying Park did not reflect on himself and needed eternal quarantine due to the high risk of recidivism.
Earlier, Park was caught by police in 2 hours and 20 minutes after chasing a teenage woman 800m on the street in downtown Suncheon early on September 26 last year, stabbing her with a weapon, and fleeing.
