Confirmed: 20-Year-Old Sentenced to 30 Years Imprisonment for Killing Older Sister and Abandoning Body in Irrigation Canal

"Late to come home" criticism leads to sister killed by dozens of stab wounds with a weapon

[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Kyung-jun] A man in his 20s who stabbed his older sister dozens of times with a weapon, killed her, and abandoned the body has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.

The Supreme Court's First Division (Presiding Justice Kim Seon-su) announced on the 10th that it upheld the 30-year prison sentence in the appeal trial of Mr. A (28), who was charged with murder and corpse abandonment.

Mr. A was prosecuted for stabbing his sister dozens of times with a weapon in an apartment in Incheon on December 19, 2020, causing her death, then placing her body in a travel bag and leaving it in the apartment rooftop storage for nine days before dumping it in an agricultural waterway in Ganghwa-gun.

Investigations revealed that Mr. A committed the crime after losing his temper when his sister pointed out issues such as his late returns home and kleptomania.

The first and second trials found Mr. A guilty on all charges and sentenced him to 30 years in prison. The Supreme Court also ruled that "considering the motive, method, result, and circumstances after the crime, the 30-year sentence is not excessively unfair," affirming the lower courts' judgment.
