“I’m sorry, but there are cigarettes outside…” A man in his 20s stormed to the nearest door with a gun. (News now)

A 20-year-old man who went on trial for trying to kill the person next door who told him to smoke outside the house has been given a serious sentence.

On the 22nd, the 13th Criminal Division of Daejeon District Court (Chief Judge Jang Min-kyung) sentenced a (20-year-old) defendant to five years in prison for attempted murder.

At around 1:40 p.m. on June 20 last year, A was smoking in his house in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, when he heard B (40), who lives next door between the walls, say: “I’m sorry, but please go out and smoke.

A was outraged by this and was charged with attempted murder of B by crossing the wall with a weapon.

For about ten minutes there was a physical struggle between A, who attempted to wield a weapon, and B, who attempted to stop A. When B, who was holding A by the arms, desperately resisted, A ran away.

B, who was bitten in the ear and shoulder, had to be treated in hospital for 21 days.

When the trial began, A filed a criminal complaint of 400,000 won, but the court did not consider this as a favorable factor for the sentence.

The court stated: “We will not take into account the fact that the criminal bail was made unilaterally against the will of the victim due to favorable circumstances for the conviction.” good and the illegality is serious.

“After this incident, the families of the victims are suffering severe psychological distress due to fear and anxiety and want a harsh punishment. The defendant did not seriously seek forgiveness, he said, justifying the conviction.”
