On November 15, last year, a man in his 40s, A, who wielded a weapon at a couple living downstairs and their daughter in their 20s due to a noise problem between floors.



The court sentenced him to 22 years in prison, saying, "Mr. A was caught up in the delusion that the victims intentionally made noise and committed the crime with the intention to kill the victims even when police officers were dispatched."



Previously, the prosecution requested 30 years in prison for A, saying, "The victim has to live the rest of his life with a 1-year-old intelligence."



The court judged that A was able to fully recognize that the victims could die, and because he had bad feelings for all three victims, the intentional intent to murder all three victims was recognized.



The court also ordered that Mr. A be equipped with a location tracking electronic device for 10 years, saying that it was judged that there was a problem with his anger control and there was a risk of recidivism.



After the trial, the victim's side appealed for strict punishment for the two police officers who left the scene even though they knew the seriousness of the incident.



[Victim: The police said they didn't know me and ran away, and after that, these people are worse people.

It would have been forgiven if I had made even one phone call or said sorry.]



The officers in question were dismissed for poor response and were sent to the prosecution on charges of negligence.



The victim's side said that the police officers who were dispatched when the daughter called 911 for the first time just returned, and that the incident occurred five hours later, and they plan to file a complaint with two additional officers who were dispatched for the first time.
