A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for frequently beating and killing the son of a woman who lives with her, less than a month old, for crying loudly.



The man claimed that there was "no intention to kill", but the court did not accept it, and pleaded guilty to murder, not homicide.



In addition, the mother in her 20s, who did not actively stop the assault of the man she lived with, was sentenced to four years in prison after being tried without detention on charges of child abuse and homicide.



According to the ruling, Mr. A and Mr. B, a man in his 20s, have been dating since April of last year, and Mr. B was pregnant with the child of his ex-boyfriend at the time.



The two decided to send the baby for adoption when the baby was born and lived together, but after the baby was born, there was a noise in the child's heart, so they could only hand it over to the adoption agency after the test was completed, so we took it with us.



While staying with Mr. A, he frequently hit the head of a child smaller than the palm of his hand.



It was a situation in which there was even a bruise on the child's head, but the mother did not take her to the hospital for fear that the abuse would be discovered, and when the child was not breathing, he called 911.



Group C, who arrived at the hospital emergency room, was brain dead and died the next day.



It was only 29 days after birth, and severe bruises were found on the upper part of the child's eyebrows and on both sides of the forehead.



After a report from the hospital suspected of child abuse, they were investigated by the police and an autopsy was also conducted.



The National Forensic Research Institute in charge of the autopsy made a finding that "it is judged that he died from a fatal head injury," and added that it could be considered as a head injury due to abuse, such as bleeding after about a week and acute bleeding that occurred recently.



In the end, A was arrested on the charge of murder and B was charged with child abuse and murder without detention and handed over to trial.



On the 27th, the court sentenced Defendant A to 12 years in prison and Defendant B to 4 years in prison. The program required 40 hours of completion.



The court said, "Considering the motive, details, and method of the crime, the quality of the crime is very bad and the possibility of accusation is high," the court ruled. I did.



"Defendant B, as the victim's biological mother, has a legal obligation to nurture and protect, but he did not take appropriate measures and left the victim in a dangerous state, leading to death." "The quality of the crime is very bad." .
