A man in his 40s who brutally murdered his wife and two sons for ignoring him withdrew his application for a public participation trial.
In the afternoon of the 25th, at the Ansan branch of the Suwon District Court, during the interrogation procedure for confirming the intention of the defendant A, Mr. A responded to the judge's question, "Do you know the procedure and meaning of the public participation trial?" I saw what you were describing."
Then, when the presiding judge asked, "Do you still want to proceed with the public participation trial?" Mr. A's lawyer said, "After the defendant was arrested and indicted, he received a written indictment and it seems that he applied (for the public participation trial) without thinking deeply." " he replied.
Mr. A did not say anything to the judge's question, "Do you have any last words you want to say?"
As Mr. A’s earlier application to the court for a trial with public participation was withdrawn, the trial of Mr. A’s murder case will proceed according to the normal criminal trial procedure.
The first trial will be held on the 6th of next month at 2pm.
Mr. A was arrested and indicted on charges of killing his wife and two sons with a blunt weapon and a weapon prepared in advance because he thought that his wife and two sons were ignoring him and attacking him at his home, an apartment in Gwangmyeong City, Gyeonggi Province.
