The husband accused of killing his wife and six-year-old son, the so-called 'Gwanak-gu hat murder', was sentenced to imprisonment in the first instance.

Part 33 of the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Settlement (Deputy Judge Son Dong-hwan) sentenced the detainee to imprisonment for a murder and other charges.

Cho passed the trial on August 21, last year, between 8:56 pm and 1:35 am the next day in a multi-family house in Bongcheon-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, on charges of murdering his wife A (42) and his six-year-old son B. Lost.

Their bodies were found in a police report by Mr. A's father, who visited the house when he could not contact his daughter.No obvious evidence such as crime tools or CCTV was found on the spot, and the police identified Cho as the culprit through on-site inspection data and emotions.

Cho strongly denied this allegation during the investigation and trial.

In the last argument last month, he cried, saying, "I am a father who lost my beloved wife and son and wants to catch the criminal more than anyone else."

However, the court did not accept Mr. Cho's defense.

The court said, "Most of the defendants were present at the time when it was estimated that the victims died." In addition, the possibility that a third party was killed is only abstract. "

Then, he concluded, "If you synthesize the defendant's personality and the motive for the crime that can be recognized in light of the conflict situation at the time of the crime, the prosecution proves guilty."

In addition, after hearing the news of the family's death from police officers, the court listed as evidence of the facts that they did not ask at all where they were, without asking where they are, and that they were not involved in the funeral process and did not mourn. .

Except when the prosecution sought the death penalty, they did not move even after looking at photos of the family's death or autopsy, and concentrated on movies and TV programs related to murder crimes such as 'reality', 'reconsideration' and 'city police' before and after the crime. He also mentioned that he was downloaded and watched.

Based on this, the court concluded that Mr. Cho's crimes were done according to a careful plan.

The judge said, "My wife and son loved and respected the defendants until the time of their death, but the results were terrible." The defendants who have had an affair with them for a long time have put in place a detailed plan to kill them and put them into practice. "

He continued, "The defendant does not show a cold attitude at the trial, so he has no choice but to take serious responsibility." Even considering the favorable circumstances for the defendant, it is necessary to make him live with atonement. "
