40s Sentenced to Prison for Stabbing Acquaintance Over 30 Times After Being Evicted from House They Lived In

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Ju Cheol-in] A man in his 40s who stabbed an acquaintance more than 30 times with a weapon after being driven out by acquaintances was sentenced to a heavy prison term.

The Changwon District Court Criminal Division 2 (Chief Judge Lee Jeong-hyun) announced on the 23rd that A (42), who was tried on charges of attempted murder and others for harboring resentment and attempting to kill after being repeatedly driven out while living at acquaintances' houses, was sentenced to 7 years in prison.

In May of last year, A, who came down to Changwon for work, stayed at the house of B (42), whom he had met while working together in the past, and occasionally visited C (45, female), whom he knew, to live together.

Then, on September 22 of last year, while drinking together, B told A to "get out" and drove him out of the house during an argument.

Afterward, A went to C's place, but C also drove him out, saying he only drank alcohol and did not help with housework. Harboring resentment, A stabbed C about 30 times on the shoulder and other areas with a weapon and fled.

Immediately after the crime, unable to suppress his anger, A also went to kill B, but failed to meet him as B did not open the door, resulting in an attempted murder.

C's wounds were not deep and did not threaten her life, resulting in injuries requiring six weeks of medical treatment.

The court stated, "The method of the crime was very brutal, and because of this, the victim could have lost her life. Since no compensation has been made to the victim, we cannot help but impose severe responsibility corresponding to the act."
