A 40-year-old man who murdered and buried a stock co-investor in debt has appealed to the Supreme Court after being sentenced to 30 years in prison on appeal, but the case was rejected.
On the 2th, the Supreme Court's Second Division (Chief Judge Cho Jae-yeon) announced that it would reject the appeal of Miss A, a woman in her 40s who was accused of murder, concealment of a dead body, and falsification of personal documents, and confirm the original sentence of 30 years in prison.
Mr. A is accused of killing Mr. B, a stock co-investor, in a parking lot in Geumjeong-gu, Busan around 8 p.m. on April 4 last year, and then burying his body in a field in Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam.
In 6, Mr. A and Mr. B, who met each other through an online community related to stocks, shared investment information with each other, set up an office in a studio in Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam, and started investing in stocks as a partnership. If you got paid by Mr. B, it was the way Mr. A would roll.
When Mr. B found out that Mr. A had arbitrarily used 9 million won of his investment, he demanded that he repay the money.
Miss A said, "I can't pay you back right away, so please wait a bit," but when Miss B pressed her to "meet your husband and solve the problem," she was afraid that her husband would find out about the debt, so she planned the murder and committed the crime.

In particular, a few days before the crime, Mr. A contacted a landowner in Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam, and said "I want to plant a tree," and dug a pit to bury the body in advance, and the day before the crime, he carefully prepared for the crime by printing a pile of more than 4 A100 sheets with fake license plate numbers and taping them on the license plate and even wearing a wig to avoid police investigation.
In the early morning of the day after the crime, Mr. A prepared a stock contract stating that the partnership and debt relationship between the two had already been sorted out in order to avoid suspicion from Mr. B's wife, and then took out the left hand of the black burial body and smeared it with a seal to interfere with the counterfeit contract.
Earlier, the first trial sentenced Mr. A to life imprisonment, which is higher than the 1 years imposed by the prosecution, but the appellate court reduced the sentence to 28 years' imprisonment, saying, "Although the motive for the crime is poor and premeditated, it is difficult to consider that the method is cruel or cruel."
Subsequently, Mr. A appealed against it, but the Supreme Court rejected Mr. A's appeal, saying, "Even taking into account various circumstances, it cannot be said that the trial court's sentence of 30 years in prison was grossly unjust," and maintained the same sentence as the appeal court.
