"Why Did You Come?" ... 70-Year-Old Sentenced to 25 Years for Killing Woman Who Rejected Dating Request

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Ju Cheol-in] The Changwon District Court Criminal Division 4 (Presiding Judge Jang Yoo-jin) announced on the 4th that it sentenced A (77), who was tried on charges of murder and others for killing a woman with a weapon after she rejected his advances, to 25 years in prison.

A stabbed the female victim in her 60s multiple times with a weapon he had prepared in advance on November 2 last year at an unspecified location in Geoje-si, Gyeongnam, after she said, "Why did you come after I said I wouldn't meet you?" causing her death.

Afterwards, intending to commit suicide, he parked his car nearby and set fire to a newspaper on the car seat, but the attempt failed. It was confirmed that A committed the crime because the victim did not respond well to his contact and refused to meet him.

The court stated, "Murder is a serious crime for which the damage cannot be compensated by any means, and severe punishment corresponding to this is inevitable," adding, "The victim, who sent her young grandson off on the bus early in the morning, ended her life without knowing why she had to die."
