He, swinging a knife and stabbing at the unarmed migrant worker, 30 knives in a row, the knife stabbed the bone, and the blood flowed into a river... However, because of depression, he may reduce his sentence on the grounds of "weak mind".
What do you think of such a thing? Recently, South Korean netizens have expressed their views in their way.
Millions of South Korean netizens petitioned in real names, demanding that the personal information of the criminal be published and opposing all commutations. This not only set a record for the official national petition of south Korea's Blue House, but also set off a wave of public opinion in South Korea.
<h1>1. Quarreling over a trivial matter, the criminal stabs the migrant worker with a knife</h1>
At about 8:00 a.m. on October 14, criminal suspect Kim Sung-so (male, 29 years old) repeatedly sought fault with the victim A (male, 21 years old) who worked part-time here at an Internet café in Seoul's Gangseo-gu, on the grounds that his location was dirty, and demanded a refund.
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, the Internet café refunded kim Sung-so's Internet fee, but he still refused to let go of A and pointed at him. In a hurry, A immediately called the police.
According to South Korean media reports, the police took Kim outside the Internet café after arriving at the scene, and after only about 15 minutes of conversation education, they were released in front of the Internet café.
After the police returned, A sent a message to the manager of the Internet café, which read as follows:
"At around 7:30, there was a tattoo on my neck and a guest with glasses asked me to clean the table. After I cleaned up, he suddenly began to curse people, and scolded all the way to the counter, which completely affected the business. I called the police, and he said he would kill me if he didn't give me the money back, and he said he would come back later. ”
Soon, Kim Sung-so appeared again with a knife. He attacked A, who had just finished throwing out the garbage, at the elevator.
After stabbing more than 30 times in a row, A fell in a pool of blood and was on the verge of death.
Surveillance footage from the scene also captured, and Kim Sung-so's younger brother was also present. He hugged A from behind, a move that was considered an accomplice of Kim. The identity of the accomplice has yet to be verified.
It is understood that the day of the crime was the last day that A worked in an Internet café.
South Korean netizens also found out the information of his life - 1 meter 93 tall, outstanding appearance, determined to become a model.
After the incident, the staircase of the scene was filled with flowers, and many Korean people came to express their condolences to A.
<h1>2. The murderer is extremely fierce and heinous</h1>
On the morning of the 19th, Nangong Ren, the attending doctor of victim A, published a long article to make a "complaint" against the criminal.
In the text, he wrote: "A's T-shirt and jeans were stained with blood, and all the wounds were on the neck, face and hands to block the knife. Each wound was deep, and after wiping away the blood, more than 30 knife wounds were found on the face. ”
A's ear was directly pierced, forming two holes; the knife was cut between the index and middle fingers, and another finger was cut off; there were multiple parallel wounds on the cheek... The back of the neck was stabbed deepest.
Dr. Nan believes that the wounds created by ordinary perpetrators in the case of continuous stabbing of people are of different depths, but each knife of Jin Mou stabs until the bone is stopped, and the depth and wound are shocking.
"The policeman measured the length of the knife with his hand, and after I read it, I thought, if you stab the knife all into your body, how much resentment does he have to do this?"
Knowing that Jin mou only had a verbal conflict with A mou, Dr. Nan could not help but say a word
- "This is a crazy person. ”
During the rescue process, the doctor saw hope at one point. They kept transfusing and transfusing A, and rescued him from the ghost gate several times.
But the depths that are invisible to the naked eye are constantly bleeding. A's blood became as thin as water, "and there was a sea of blood around him." ”
Soon, A passed away.
Going through the whole process, from anger to regret, Dr. Nan wrote:
"The murderer's depression may not be his responsibility, but depression will not make him pick up the knife."
The current debate over the weak mind is that it has turned countless people suffering from depression into potential murderers.
It would surprise me even more if the killer who stabbed A more than 30 times in the face had no history of mental illness, but this anger is another matter.
The knife was picked up by his own hand.
Now, all we can do about this is to urge the punishment of being weak-minded, which makes me feel very sorry. ”
<h1>3. Does depression reduce his sentence? </h1>
The prototype criminal of the movie "Suyuan" was sentenced to only 12 years after sexually assaulting young children under the name of "weak heart", which caused a hot discussion in South Korea that year.

After the "Internet café murder case", the criminal suspect Jin Also submitted a "depression book", which instantly became a catalyst for the fermentation of public opinion.
According to reports, Kim said that he had been taking depression drugs for more than a decade.
So, if you can kill people at will on the grounds of mental illness, can you reduce your sentence?
In response, nearly 1 million South Koreans are known for their "Gangnam District Internet Cafe Murderer, Another Weak Criminal!" ", in the Cheongwadai National Petition Column, it is expressed that it opposes the commutation of the sentence of the criminal.

Some netizens wrote:
"When did depression, mental illness, and weak mind become words that could mitigate punishment."
...... Even if the world is terrible, it is too terrible. ”
Victim A's girlfriend wrote:
"My brother had a lot of things he wanted to do, and he left before he could finish anything.
He especially takes care of the people around him and is a warm person.
The suspect returned with a murder weapon on the grounds of unkindness to brutally commit the crime and also stated that he was taking depression medication.
On the grounds of weak mental strength, the suspect may be sentenced to a reduced sentence, but similar things may happen in the future, and I am very worried about this.
Please, please agree, and please tell the people around you, thank you.
Please, be sure to file a case and investigate, preferably to let him live in prison for the rest of his life. The brother also wanted to see the wicked eat their own fruit. ”
<h1>4. The suspect's personal information is released mosaic is also not hit</h1>
"I don't know which one will come first, the accident or tomorrow." Such a sudden, invincible killing disaster has caused the South Korean people to panic.
At 11:00 a.m. local time, all the information of the suspect Kim Sung-so was made public, and the police did not cover his face during the move.
According to the relevant laws of the Republic of Korea on the punishment of specific brute force crimes in force:
A particularly strong suspect whose criminal means are cruel and who causes significant harm may make public his or her appearance when there is sufficient evidence to prove his or her crime.
The law was amended in response to the "Kang Ho Soon Incident" (the abduction and murder of 7 women living in southwest Gyeonggi Province in 2009).
The latest reports say Kim Sung-so has been taken to the Treatment And Detention Center of the National Legislative Affairs Hospital in Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do Province, for a month of psychiatric evaluation.
