In this case, the two daughters of the Pastor C’s couple were also involved.The 16-year-old eldest daughter was under the age of 18 and was sent to Family Court in a juvenile protection case, and the 9-year-old daughter was not arrested because she was a criminal minor.

It was investigated that Mr. C’s family committed a crime together while staying at A’s church due to depression and panic disorder.
