◇ Anchor> The so-called stick murder. The bereaved family filed a lawsuit against the state for damages, and today is the date of the sentence. I remember it as a bizarre incident. Please organize the details.

◆Jimin Yang> This incident happened on December 31, 2021. It happened in the morning. So it was time to move on to dawn. The suspect, who is drunk, is the representative of the sports center, A. This is the case of killing B, who is his employee. But it's a very horrible killing in a bizarre way, and it's actually killing in a way that actually ruptures the victim's organs using a 70cm long stick. So, the court said at the time that the defendant was sentenced to 25 years in prison, saying that the murder method was very brutal and bizarre. That's why a lot of people were shocked at the time in that it was generally done in a way that damaged the body, rather than using that stick to hit or kill like this through assault.

◇Anchor> As you said, the murder was done in an unimaginable way, but the police responded poorly when the bereaved family was filing a lawsuit against the state, right?

◆ Yang Jimin > That's right. Because if you look over there at the sports center at that time, there are balls and hula hoops. After the company dinner, this employee, the victim and the perpetrator, had another drink together. But there was actually assault and so on at this drinking place, where anyone could see that they came and drank here. There was a lot of abuse. The police come and take a look. I reported it. The person who reported was actually the perpetrator who committed the assault. But I made a false report. After receiving the report, the police came and examined the situation, but the victim was already unconscious and was assaulted, and he simply said, "It's because the perpetrator is drunk, he's sleeping drunk," and he believed it and simply left the scene after covering the bottom with clothes.

Therefore, from the perspective of the bereaved family, the police came to check the situation at least once, and even though there was an opportunity to save people, they were negligent in such duties, so a person was bound to die. That's why we filed a national compensation claim because the state should compensate on behalf of the police, who are public officials.

◇ Anchor> It was even more shocking because it happened at a sports center used by children, and the total amount of compensation claims was about 900 million won. How is this amount set?

◆ Yang Ji-min> In general, the victim was in his 20s at the time of the death of a person. Then, when we calculated from the 20s to the expected age, the money that the person could have earned if he worked, and if this person is now dead, the medical expenses and, of course, alimony for such mental damages are calculated and calculated from the perspective of the bereaved family. Perhaps this 900 million won amount has already been filed by the bereaved family once against the perpetrator. At that time, the amount recognized was nearly 800 million won. That's why we would have calculated such claims to hold the state accountable based on that. As far as the amount is close to 800 million won, it seems to have claimed about 900 million won.
