"The transfer fee from Seo-gu, Incheon to Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do is expensive at 25,000 won. Due to the perpetrator's actions, the deceased left his family in a panic ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.



" While (42) was arrested, the bereaved family urged strict punishment for the perpetrator.



Yesterday (24th), a petition titled 'I urge strong punishment for drunk driving hit-and-run criminals' was posted on the website of the National Assembly National Consent Petition.

The writer, who revealed that he was a close friend of the brother of the delivery man who died, appealed, "The victim's family must live as a sinner for the rest of their lives due to the guilt of not protecting their children and brothers."



In the post, the author said, "From the moment you drink and get behind the wheel, it is clear that there is an intentional murder attempt."



The writer then posted a post on the online community along with the national consent petition, asking for help to publicize the case.



He asked for consent to the petition, saying, "(The deceased) usually did not violate the signal, and was waiting at the signal even at dawn on the day of the incident."



He said, “(The perpetrator’s) job is a ‘doctor’ to save people, but I can’t forgive him for causing an accident and running away.” We hope that the law will be amended as soon as possible.”



Meanwhile, the petition received 100 upvotes on the same day that the post was uploaded.



For up to 7 days, a review will be conducted to see if the petition requirements have been met, and if it is determined that there is no particular problem, it will be published on the National Assembly petition website.



If 50,000 consent is obtained within 30 days after publication, it will be referred to the National Assembly's competent committee and related committees for review.



Previously, the police arrested doctor A (42) on charges of escape and death under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes and drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act.
