The Daegu District Court sentenced Mr. A (20) to five years in prison for allegedly harassing a runaway college student.



In addition, two people in their 20s who were indicted together were sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison, and the other was sentenced to 6 months in prison.



Mr. A and others were handed over to trial on charges of hitting Mr. B (20), a college student who had run away from home in July of last year, dozens of times with a sack of a push rod, putting him in a life jacket, and drowning him in a reservoir to swim.



He is also accused of burning his body hair with a match, forcing him to commit lewd acts, and burning his body with a cigarette at a similar time.



It was investigated that Mr. A and others induced Mr. B to run away to make a fraudulent loan, and then lived together, saying that the introverted victim did not follow their instructions well.



Chief Judge Kim said, "The defendants have acted harshly against the victims for a long period of time, and the extent is ruthless and cruel, so the guilt is heavy."
