A South Korean court sentenced a man to life in prison on Tuesday (July 11) for murdering a woman he had stalked for years.
The Seoul High Court sentenced 32-year-old Jeon Joo-hwan for killing a former colleague in revenge after the victim reported him to police for stalking.
On Sept14 last year, a day before Jeon was due to be sentenced for stalking, he stabbed her to death in a public restroom at a Seoul subway station. A district court had sentenced Jeon in February to 40 years in prison in the murder case. He was separately given an additional nine years for stalking. "Revenge crime requires strict punishment as it incapacitates the criminal justice system," the court said in Tuesday's verdict, according to Yonhap news agency.
