SOUTH KOREAN MAN GETS DEATH FOR STABBING SPREE

a South Korean court sentenced a man to death for killing six people in a stabbing spree in 2008, according to Seoul Central District Court spokesman Kwon Tae-hyung. Police say Jeong Sang-jin set fire to a Seoul lodging house and then stabbed residents with a sashimi knife. Autopsies found that five victims were stabbed to death and another died after jumping from the building in an attempt to escape. Police say Jeong was motivated by a combination of psychological distress, financial troubles and a gangster movie.
