The Supreme Court upheld a 12-year prison sentence for an Aikido member who was handed over to trial for assaulting and killing an Internet personal broadcaster, BJ, whom he had a close acquaintance with.



The 2nd division of the Supreme Court (Chief Justice Lee Dong-won) announced today (9th) that it confirmed the original sentence of 12 years in prison for A (29), who was charged with murder, etc.



On March 25, last year, from midnight to 8:30 in the morning, at the house of Mr. B in his 40s, who was working as an internet broadcast BJ, while having an argument while drinking together, Mr. A hit Mr. B's head, chest, and stomach with his fists and feet. He was charged with being beaten several times to death.



It was investigated that Person A exchanged phone numbers with Mr. B on an Internet broadcast conducted by Mr. B at the beginning of the same month, and then went to his house after receiving an invitation from Mr. B the day before the incident.

At the first trial, Mr. A claimed that he had no intention to kill.



However, the court of first instance judged that Mr. A, who is a member of Aikido, had unwritten will in the murder.



The court of first instance pointed out, "Mr. A, who has been trained in Aikido for more than 3 years, must have been well aware that his assault was far more powerful and intense than that of a person who did not exercise professionally." sentenced to a year.



At that time, it was found that A had left the collapsed Mr. B at home and searched for 'how to get rid of the smell of rotting corpses and corpses' on his mobile phone.



The court pinched this, saying, "It seems that these keywords were searched because the victim was likely to die."



Subsequently, both the second trial and the Supreme Court maintained the judgment of the first trial, which sentenced A to 12 years in prison.
