The 1st Criminal Division of the Suncheon Branch of Gwangju District Court (Chief Judge Heo Jeonghoon) announced on the 12th that Mr. A (53), who was tried on charges of murder and concealment of a corpse, was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Mr. A was indicted for killing his wife, Mrs. B (51), with a weapon during an argument at a farm in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, last January, and hiding her body in the farm's fertilizer warehouse under manure and other materials.
