The prosecution appealed to the case where he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the first trial for the murder of his girlfriend and his sister.



According to the legal profession, the criminal department of the Daejeon District Prosecutor's Office (Prosecutor Sang-rok Sang-rok) of the Daejeon District Prosecutor's Office submitted a letter of appeal yesterday (26th) to the first trial court in the case of the defendant Kim Mo (33), including a robbery and murder. I did.



An official at the prosecution said, "The intention is to argue that the centrifugal sentence is too light."



This means that the prosecution, who sought the death penalty, would demand the same sentence at the appeal trial.



It is expected that a request for the order to attach a location tracking electronic device (electronic anklet) that was rejected in the first trial will also be requested again.



Kim strangled her girlfriend in an apartment in Dangjin City, Chungcheongnam-do at around 10:30 pm on June 25, last year, and then immediately broke into the house of her girlfriend in the same apartment and hid, and then killed her sister who returned from work the next morning. It was handed over to trial on one charge.



He stole his girlfriend's older sister's car, went down to Ulsan, got into a car accident and ran away.



It is also known that attempts to cover up the crime were attempted, such as withdrawing money using the victim's credit card or sending messages to family and acquaintances using the mobile phone of an already dead girlfriend.



The first trial court sentenced Mr. A to life imprisonment and said, "The victim's parents lost their two daughters at the same time due to the crime of the defendant." It makes sense to prevent recidivism and make atonement.”



Regarding this ruling, the bereaved family screamed inside and outside the court, saying, "Does it make sense to save that person?" and "I'll make the person who trampled my family live with our taxes."



The Cheong Wa Dae national petition, which was posted by the victim's father with the intention of'strongly punishing the defendant,' ended with the consent of 260,545 people.



Following the prosecution's appeal, the case will be taken over by the Daejeon High Court.
