[Breaking News] “Why don’t you show the kids?” A woman in her 40s went to the house of her ex-husband, who had custody, and attempted to set it on fire… ‘home milk’

According to the legal community on the 11th, the Cheongju District Court 22 Criminal Division (Chief Han Sang-won) sentenced A, a woman in her 40s, who was indicted on charges of attempted arson of a Hyeonju building, to 1 year and 6 months in prison and 3 years of probation.

On August 3rd last year, Ms. A visited an apartment in Seowon-gu, Cheongju, where her ex-husband B (in his 40s) lived and threatened, “If you don’t show me your children, I will harm myself.”

When Mr. B left the scene to avoid Mr. A, he was put on trial on charges of trying to start a fire by lighting clothes on fire and throwing them on the floor. Mr. A’s crime was stopped as an attempt by the fire authorities who responded to the report.

Chief Judge Han said, “The defendant’s guilt is not light due to the fact that the location of the crime was an apartment with multiple residents and that it is a place where minor children live together. However, the sentence was decided based on the fact that he acknowledged and reflected on the crime and the fact that the victim did not want to be punished.”
