Committed Crime Harboring Grudge for Being 'Ignored'

A man in his 60s who stabbed a village female leader, who even took care of his own son, more than 100 times with a weapon and killed her has been arrested and indicted. The motive for the murder was "because she ignored him." On the 11th, the Criminal Division 2 of the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office Masan Branch (Chief Kim Sang-jun) indicted Mr. A on these charges.

Mr. A is accused of stabbing the victim multiple times with a weapon at the residence of a woman in her 50s, Ms. B, in Haman-gun, Gyeongnam, on July 18. The weapon wounds on Ms. B's body numbered about 100. Mr. A repeatedly sexually harassed her by hugging her or visiting her home without permission. When Ms. B began to avoid him, Mr. A harbored resentment, saying "She is ignoring me." Eventually, after a quarrel, he committed the crime and fled to a nearby mountain but later surrendered to the police.

The victim, Ms. B, was known as the village leader who usually took care of Mr. A's son by preparing side dishes and helping him receive various government supports. A prosecution official stated, "We will do our utmost to maintain the prosecution so that the defendant receives a sentence commensurate with the crime, and we will continue to respond strictly to such violent crimes in the future."
