[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] Guardians who starved and brutally beat a young man with an intellectual disability to death with a wooden stick are set to receive their second trial verdict on the 11th.

According to the legal community on the 10th, the Daejeon High Court will hold an appellate trial verdict session on the 11th at 1:30 PM in courtroom 316 for caregiver A (51, female) and the victim's mother B (46) on charges including injury resulting in death and violation of the Act on the Punishment of Violent Acts (joint confinement).

A and B repeatedly assaulted and confined C (in his 20s), the son of B who is a level 3 intellectually disabled person, at B's residence located in Jung-gu, Daejeon, in December 2019.

They were indicted on charges of tying C with a dog leash and beating him to death with a wooden laundry bat approximately 30 cm in length.

Investigations revealed that the two covered the victim's face with a thick T-shirt and forced a sock into his mouth.

Subsequently, the two confined the collapsed victim in a foul-smelling bathroom and neglected him.
