The Daegu District Court's Western Branch Criminal Division 1 (Chief Judge Kim Jong-il) sentenced A (19), who was arrested on the 20th (the 20th) for murdering his grandmother (such as murder), sentenced to 12 years in prison and 7 years in short term.



It also ordered the installation of location-tracking electronics for 10 years.



The 17-year-old brother B (17), who was charged with aiding in the crime (aiding in the killing of an ascendant), was sentenced to two years and six months in prison and three years of probation.



In addition, group A was ordered to complete 80 hours of violence and psychiatric treatment program for group B, respectively.



In the previous decision trial, the prosecution had asked for life imprisonment for Army A and 12 years for long term and 6 years for short term for Army B.



The court scolded the court, saying, "It is a crime that infringes on life, which is the highest value that the state and society should protect, and the quality of the crime is very bad in terms of the seriousness of the crime and the results."



He added, "Even though the victim was nagging, when it rains, the guilt is heavy considering that he went to a convenience store late at night to pick up the accused with an umbrella or buy food for the accused, even though he was handicapped."



However, the court emphasized that it was an 'accidental crime' and 'the possibility of correction'.



The court explained, "If you look at the results of psychological analysis that my grandfather didn't kill and that he showed an explosive emotional expression while being suppressed by negative emotions, the character of the accidental crime is greater."



The court continued, "Considering the unfavorable growth environment, such as the constant change of caregivers due to the divorce of the parents, and the fact that he is a first-time offender, it does not appear that he has developed antisocial or malignant nature."




He also explained the reason for the sentencing, saying, "The fact that he acknowledged the crime and submitted a letter of remorse several times and that his younger brother was not at fault, he is aware of his own mistakes and there seems to be room for improvement in edification."



Regarding group B, he said, "It does not appear to have contributed decisively to the crime, and when group A tried to kill his grandfather, he wept and stopped the crime, he said.



After the sentencing, the court gave the defendants two books, including 'Bicycle Thief' by Park Wan-seo, and said, "I want you to think about how you will live in the future."



Army A is accused of stabbing and killing dozens of times with a knife in anger when her grandmother, who lived with her in Seo-gu, Daegu, on the morning of August 30 last year was nagging and scolding her.



In the course of the investigation, it was also revealed that Army A searched the internet for the crime method before the crime.



He is accused of trying to kill even his grandfather who was at the scene, but failed due to the deterrence of Army B.



Group B is accused of helping the crime by closing the window in advance to prevent the grandmother's screams from leaking out.



The two brothers have been living with their disabled grandparents since 2012.
