[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A man in his 20s who attempted to harm a chicken restaurant, claiming the delivery food was bad, and eventually set it on fire, has been sentenced to prison.

The Ulsan District Court Criminal Division 11 (Chief Judge Park Hyun-bae) announced on the 11th that Mr. A, who was prosecuted for deliberately setting fire to a chicken restaurant because he believed they had given him bad food on purpose, was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison.

According to the court, Mr. A was charged with throwing an inflammable substance into a chicken restaurant near his home in Gyeongnam last September and setting it on fire.

Three weeks before setting the fire, Mr. A had also attempted to set fire to the same chicken restaurant but failed and was released after police investigation.

Mr. A testified that he regularly used the chicken restaurant but became angry and committed the crime because he believed they deliberately delivered bad-tasting food to him.

The court stated, “Knowing that people lived on the upper floor of the chicken restaurant, setting the fire could have caused significant casualties,” and added, “The crime is of poor nature as it was committed again after a police investigation.”
