[사회]Even though a 3-year-old child was killed by a blunt weapon, the late “murder crime” was not applied.

[앵커]

A woman in her 30s who killed her 3-year-old daughter with a blunt weapon was sentenced by the court to 10 years in prison.

The judiciary admitted some of the intentionality of the murder, but the prosecution did not commit murder, but only applied the crime of child abuse and death.

Reporter Kim Woo-jun’s report.

Mr. A, a woman in her thirties who was handed over to trial for killing a 3-year-old girl who lived with her.

The incident took place at Mr. A’s home at around 3 pm on January 28, 2019.

An assault was initiated because a child of a co-located man pushed his dog. An hour later, the child was moved to the emergency room with a part of his skull depressed, and died within a month.

Mr. A, accused of child abuse and death, was eventually sentenced to 10 years in prison and imprisoned.

When referring to the findings of a forensic scientist, the court judged that Mr. A killed the child by hitting the child’s head several times with a hard stick.

He also pointed out that the abuse did not stop, knowing that hitting a 3-year-old child’s fragile head would lead to death.

This is where the judge partially acknowledged A’s murder intention.

However, the prosecution only applied child abuse and lethal charges to Mr. A, not murder charges.

[허윤 / 변호사 : 아동학대 치사죄의 기본 형량은 4년에서 7년인데 형이 가중돼서 10년이 나왔거든요. 살인죄는 기본형량이 10년에서 16년이기 때문에 여기서 가중된다면, 더욱 무거운 형이 선고될 수도 있습니다.]

It is pointed out that the prosecution needs a more proactive attitude from the time of the prosecution, as interest in child abuse increased as a result of the’Jeong-in’ case.

[양태정 / 변호사 : 피고인을 미필적 고의로 인한 살인죄로도 충분히 처벌할 수 있었을 것으로 보입니다. 살인죄로 처벌될 경우 아동학대 치사보다는 중형에 처할 수 있다는 점에서 안타까운 면이 있습니다.]

According to the Supreme Court’s sentencing standards, child abuse and fatality are 4 to 7 years in prison, but murder is 10 to 16 years in prison.
