[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] The court sentenced a man in his 60s to probation for repeatedly assaulting hired workers.

The Chuncheon District Court Criminal Division 3 (Presiding Judge Jung Soo-young) announced on the 17th that it sentenced A (63), who was indicted on charges of injury, special injury, and special assault, to 1 year and 6 months in prison with a 3-year probation, and ordered probation and attendance of 40 hours of violence treatment lectures.

In the verdict, the court explained the sentencing reasons, stating, "Considering the use of dangerous objects to commit multiple violent crimes, the defendant's numerous prior violent offenses, the fact that the victims who reached settlements requested leniency, the injuries were not severe, and the defendant's old age and deteriorating health condition causing mobility difficulties."

A was indicted for assaulting and injuring B (59), whom he hired for pine nut farming, for about a month starting in August last year.

It was investigated that A put a sack over B's head, strangled him while saying "You caused my parents to die," and repeatedly hit B's thigh with a golf club while forcing him to lie face down.

In particular, A strangled B with a string, saying "I will make you feel the fear of death," and also swung a brush cutter.

Additionally, A was charged with assaulting C (40) after a dispute over pine nut harvesting and damaging C's vehicle because C blocked his own vehicle.

The court dismissed the assault charge against B, which is a 'crime that cannot be prosecuted without the victim's complaint,' as B did not wish to press charges.
