SOUTH KOREA. DEATH PENALTY IMPOSED ON MAN WHO KILLED 13

convicted serial killer Chung Nam-kyu was sentenced to death by a district court in Seoul, South Korea. Between January 2004 and April 2006, Chung, 37, killed 13 people and injured 20 women and children in 25 separate attacks in southwest Seoul. He stabbed many of the victims. In its sentencing, the court said it decided to deliver the stiffest sentence possible because Chung showed no remorse for his actions and there was a danger he would repeat them. “The accused prepared for his crimes with gloves and masks and tried to commit the perfect crimes. The motives were not financial or based on individual grudges, but were done for his own satisfaction.”
After receiving the sentence, Chung said, 'Strangely, my life has been a mess. If the country and society had given me help this tragedy would not have happened.'
