[Breaking] Lee Kyung-woo and Hwang Dae-han Sentenced to Life Imprisonment for Gangnam Abduction and Murder

The main perpetrators of the 'Gangnam kidnapping and murder' case were sentenced to life imprisonment.

On the 25th, the Criminal Division 29 of the Seoul Central District Court (Presiding Judge Kim Seung-jung) sentenced the main suspects, Lee Kyung-woo (36) and Hwang Dae-han (36), who were detained and prosecuted on charges of robbery and murder, to life imprisonment.

Earlier, at the sentencing hearing held on the 16th, the prosecution demanded the death penalty for the two.

The trio of Lee Kyung-woo, Hwang Dae-han, and Yeon Ji-ho were arrested and prosecuted on charges of robbery and murder, attempted robbery, and corpse disposal for kidnapping victim A by car at around 11:46 p.m. on March 29 in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, murdering him the next morning, and secretly burying the body in a mountain near Daecheong Dam in Daejeon.

The couple Yoo Sang-won and Hwang Eun-hee, who were also detained and prosecuted, are accused of providing 70 million won in criminal funds following Lee Kyung-woo's proposal to kidnap victim A, with whom they had conflicts due to failed cryptocurrency investments, to seize cryptocurrency and kill him in September last year.
