A court has sentenced a father in his 40s to severe injuries, including fractures of the skull, by beating his one-month-old daughter.



Today (20th), the 12th Criminal Division of the Incheon District Court (Chief Judge Im Eun-ha) sentenced a 40-year-old man A, who was charged with attempted murder and habitual child abuse under the Child Welfare Act, to 17 years in prison and completed an 80-hour child abuse treatment program. , ordered children and youth-related organizations to restrict employment for 10 years.



From February 17 to March 5, Mr. A was arrested and charged with habitually abusing and attempting to kill his 1-month-old daughter B at his home in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon.



On March 5, Mr. A visited the hospital with his wife and was arrested by the police when the medical staff who treated Ms. B reported suspected child abuse.



At that time, Ms. B was diagnosed with a skull fracture and cerebral hemorrhage. In the police investigation, Mr. A admitted only some charges, saying, "I once hit a child for crying," but about the symptoms of skull fracture and cerebral hemorrhage. .



However, the police, who obtained the cell phone of Mr. A through a search and seizure, confirmed the video containing the circumstances of Mr. A's abuse of Mrs. B through digital forensics.



It was revealed that Mr. A had repeatedly abused her, such as pouring milk powder into her nose when Miss B cried, putting a gauze towel in her mouth, swearing, and hitting her in the face with her hands.



The police assumed that Mr. A committed the crime even though he knew that Mr. B could die, and applied the charge of attempted murder with unwritten intention.



For Mr. A, who was brought to court, the prosecution demanded 20 years in prison, saying, "The accused tortured the victim beyond abusing him.



At the final pleading, Mr. A's lawyer appealed, saying, "When Mr. A is not intoxicated, he has a calm and quiet personality."



Mr. A also wiped his tears with his hands, saying, "I have nothing to say other than that I was wrong."



The court explained, "The defendant is the father of the victim and is responsible for raising the child in good health with love and sincerity," the court said. It also hinted at the possibility that the child would carry that pain for the rest of his life.”



He also explained the reason for the sentencing, saying, "I have doubts whether the accused, who denied the charges, saying 'there was no intention to kill', fully reflects on his actions and the consequences." .



On the other hand, his wife C, who filmed the abuse of A without stopping him, was also sentenced to two years in prison at the first trial last month.
