It was a shocking incident in which the rope, which was the lifeline of a worker painting the exterior wall of an apartment, was cut, causing one person to be seriously injured and another to die.
The reason is that music was playing while working.
The perpetrator, Mr. Seo, cursed and shouted and screamed to turn off the music because the music was loud.
Worker A didn’t want to fight so he immediately turned off the music.
The deceased worker, Mr. B, could not hear Mr. Seo’s shouts because he was working in a different location.
Thinking that not turning off the music meant ignoring him, he went up to the rooftop and cut the cable.
While cutting worker A’s rope, he realized that there was no music sound, so he stopped cutting, and then cut worker B’s rope, where the music sound continued.
After the murder, he calmly went to sleep at home.
Later, when the police investigated, they said they didn’t know anything and found that the slipper prints left on the rooftop matched.
The knife he used to cut the rope was found intact and he was arrested.
Life imprisonment in the first trial
In the second trial, the sentence was reduced to 35 years due to claims of mental and physical weakness due to alcohol.
The third trial was dismissed and the sentence was confirmed to be 35 years.
