After a Chinese divorced man brought his 7-year-old daughter hated by her cousin to Korea and was charged with murder, she was sentenced to death in court.

Section 12 of the Seoul Southern District Court said today (31st) that she sentenced her to 22 years in prison for her mother-in-law charged with murdering her daughter.

In August last year, Jang was tried on a hotel bathroom in Seoul for allegedly strangling her daughter's neck.

According to the prosecution, Mr. Zhang, who lives in China, divorced in May 2017, met his current girlfriend and began living together, but continued to be close to his daughter, who had been born to his ex-wife.

Even after his divorce, he lived near his ex-wife's house, brought his daughter to kindergarten, and traveled to Taiwan, Korea, and Japan alone with her daughter two or four times a year.

However, Jang's girlfriend hated her so much that she called it 'the Devil' because her daughter was causing bad things.

In particular, this girlfriend, who lived with Jang and suffered a miscarriage twice, thought that it was also because of Jang's daughter, and was extremely hated, and expressed her feelings to Jang many times.

Nevertheless, when Jang went close with her daughter on a trip, her girlfriend tried to make extreme choices.

Eventually, she decided to murder her daughter for her girlfriend, and on August 6 last year, she traveled to Korea with her daughter.

The day after entering the country, Jang murdered her daughter in the hotel that night after having exchanged conversations about complaining about a crime with her girlfriend via text message on a cell phone.

After the crime, Mr. Zhang left the room, smoked, drank alcohol in the lobby, then returned to the room and called the hotel front desk and said, "My daughter is in the bathroom."

He responded to a newspaper at an investigative agency and denied the murder charges, saying, "I came back after I went out and my daughter was down."

However, the court united Jang's murder of his daughter by summarizing the facts of Jang's murder in a text message that Jang and his girlfriend exchanged with her girlfriend, showing that the victim was strangled, and that CCTV video had no access to the room other than Jang. I concluded.

The court said the reason for the sentence was that "the defendant who has taken the victim's precious life has a responsibility to impose a penalty corresponding to the responsibility."
