A man in his 40s who brutally murdered his wife and two sons for ignoring him pleaded guilty to all charges in the first trial.



Mr. A (45), who was arrested and indicted for murder in the first trial held today at the hearing of Chief Judge Nam Chun-gyu of the 2nd Criminal Division of the Ansan Branch of the Suwon District Court, said, "We acknowledge all the prosecution's facts and are reflecting on them."



Mr. A was arrested and charged with killing his wife and two sons with a blunt weapon prepared in advance at around 8:10 pm on October 25 this year at an apartment in Gwangmyeong City, Gyeonggi Province, thinking that his wife and two sons were ignoring him and fighting.



After quitting the company two years ago, Mr. A has been without a job, and while family discord has intensified, such as frequent arguments with his wife, his first son verbally abused his family for going out wearing his slippers without permission, and then killed his family. It was investigated that I made up my mind.



In order to hide his crime, Mr. A entered the house using a CCTV blind spot just before the murder and killed his eldest son, wife, and youngest son in turn.



After the crime, he watched cartoons in a nearby PC room for about 2 hours and then returned home and called 119 crying, saying, "I went out and his family was stabbed to death."



Mr. A's lawyer said, "It is not that the defendant is claiming mental and physical weakness for the commutation of the sentence, but he suffered from dissociative amnesia eight years ago, and his memory gradually returned about a month before the incident, and his anger toward his family amplified in the process of confusion. It appears to have been," he said.



The family's lawyer said the defendant's claims of amnesia were false and asked the court to give the victim's family a chance to testify in court.



He said, “The bereaved family wanted to hear what the defendant said today, but they were afraid to see the defendant’s face, so they could not attend.” I will submit it," he said.



Mr. A cried, saying, "The current situation is not realistic, but what I did will not disappear," and "I know that I will not be forgiven humanly, morally, and legally."
