The son, who murdered an elderly mother in his 70s, was sentenced to heavy sentence because of the delusion that his mother was trying to kill him.
The 24th Division of the Seoul Central District Court’s Criminal Agreement (Director Yong-rae Cho) sentenced A (41), who was convicted of continuing murder on the 26th, to 10 years in prison and ordered treatment and custody. When they are sentenced to treatment and supervision, they are confined to treatment and supervision facilities to receive treatment. The duration of treatment and prosecution shall be included in the period of execution of the sentence. The judge dismissed the electronic device for location tracking, saying, “It is difficult to see that there is a possibility of a second offense.”
Mr. A is accused of stabbing and killing his mother several times with a weapon at a house in Gwanak-gu, Seoul in August last year. He was suffering from schizophrenia, but he stopped taking drugs and his symptoms worsened at the time.
It was investigated that he was usually in the damage delusion of’my mother makes people follow me’ and’trying to kill by feeding pesticides’. Mr. A, who murdered his mother with a weapon prepared in advance, surrendered after searching the Internet for’the sentence for perpetual murder’ and’the sentence that will be taken into account when embroidered’.
The judge pointed out, “It is hard to say that the crime was sincerely regretted and reflected even if you look at the embroidery process by stabbing the victim dozens of times with a weapon prepared in advance with the heart to murder his mother.”
However, he explained the reason for the sentence, saying, “I took into account the fact that I committed a crime in a state of weakness in mind and body due to schizophrenia, and as a result, I had cooperated in the investigation by surrendering and regretted the murder of my mother.
