A court has sentenced a husband to life in prison for assaulting and killing his sleeping wife because he was drunk and not caring for the children.
According to the legal community today (15th), the 11th Criminal Division of the Cheongju District Court (Judge Lee Jin-yong) sentenced A (38), who was handed over to the trial on the charge of injury and death, to 4 years in prison.
Mr. A is accused of assaulting the stomach and chest of his wife B (34) several times with feet while sleeping at his house in Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju-si, around 6 pm on September 5 last year, killing him.
At that time, returning home, Mr. A found his wife sleeping in the living room after leaving his young children unattended, and he couldn't contain his anger and assaulted him.
After that, Mr. A went out of the house to calm his excitement and came back after about an hour, but again he couldn't contain his anger and assaulted his wife.
Mr. A's assault damaged her wife, Mr. B, which damaged parts of her body, including a ruptured pancreas, and eventually died of hypovolemic shock.
During a police investigation, Mr. A stated, "I was upset to see her drunken wife lying in her living room, leaving her children unattended."
The court pointed out that "A's crime is heavy, the young children lost their mother, and the victim's mother is suffering from extreme psychological shock." The sentence was decided in consideration of the fact that he had no criminal history.”
