Yoo Jung-jeong, accused of murdering her ex-husband and abandoning his body, first appeared in court today.

At 10 am, the first formal trial for high jeongjeong was held in Jeju District Court, 201.

Mr. Ko did not attend the preliminary hearing before, but he appeared on the first official trial due to his duty to attend.

Mr. Ko entered a courtroom wearing a lime green veterinarian with his face covered with hair.

Ko's trial proceeded by distributing the right to observing on a first-come, first-served basis.

Citizens competed for the rest of the room except for seats that were previously assigned to lawyers and reporters, including victims' families and lawyers.

Earlier, survivors, including their parents and younger brother, entered court before 8:50 this morning.

Ko admits he killed his ex-husband and damaged his body, but repeats the claim that his ex-husband killed him when he tried to assault.

Prosecutors claiming deliberate killings and Mr. Ko's fierce battles for accidental killings are expected.
