20-year-old granddaughter sentenced to 5 years in prison, down from prosecution's 20-year request for killing 80-year-old grandfather

A woman in her 20s, who killed her grandfather in his 80s with a weapon at an apartment in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, has been sentenced to five years in prison in the first instance. While the prosecution sought a 20-year sentence, the court ruled that intent to murder could not be established. The woman's side argued that her grandfather had subjected her to long-term verbal and physical abuse and maintained that she had no intention to kill him.
On the 23rd, the 11th Criminal Division of the Seoul Northern District Court (Presiding Judge Choi Kyung-seo) sentenced A (24), a university student who was indicted under detention on charges of parricide, to five years in prison.
Previously, the prosecution applied parricide charges to A and requested a 20-year prison sentence. However,
the court found that intent to murder was not proven and applied the charge of death caused by injury to a lineal ascendant instead.
