A son in his 30s, who continued to gamble despite a debt of more than 100 million won, received a text message from his mother saying, 'Let's cut ties', and was sentenced to probation in prison for setting fire to his house.
The 12th Criminal Division of the Incheon District Court (Chief Judge Kim Sang-woo) announced yesterday (25th) that 32-year-old A, who was charged with setting off a building in Hyeonju, was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison and 3 years of probation.
The court also ordered Mr. A to do 120 hours of community service.
Mr. A was handed over to trial on the charge of using a disposable lighter to set a fire with a spanner after cutting the city gas valve with a spanner at around 2:50 am on the 26th of July at a four-story residence in a four-story multi-family house in Namdong-gu, Incheon.
At the time, A's father, mother, and younger brother were sleeping in the house, but fortunately, they evacuated immediately and there were no injuries.
However, due to the arson, the ceiling and walls of the kitchen were burned, resulting in property damage worth 4 million won.
It was revealed that Mr. A, who was working as a gas meter reader, stole his brother's money and wasted it on gambling while he owed 120 million won from gambling.
Upon hearing this, Mr. A's mother sent a text message saying, "Let's end the relationship." It turned out that Mr. A had a grudge against his family and committed an arson.
The court said, "It is necessary to severely punish the case of setting fire to the residence of the victims living in a multi-family house." The sentence was decided in consideration of the fact that there were no casualties or casualties.”
