When Choi (25), a medical student at a prestigious university accused of killing his girlfriend on the roof of a building near Gangnam Station in Seoul, was sentenced to 26 years in prison in the first trial, the bereaved family urged severe punishment.

A, the victim's biological sister, said through an online community on the 21st, "We are going to disclose some of the cases that have not been disclosed," adding, "The perpetrator gaslighted my brother for two months with extreme shame."

"There is all the evidence that my father wanted me to build a high-rise building in Gangnam and that the perpetrator was trying to get pregnant," he said. "The perpetrator also threatened my brother, who was preparing to study abroad, that he would stab my brother to death with a knife if he met another man." In addition, he put psychological pressure on his younger brother by staging a suicide show," he claimed.

A said, "The reason why the perpetrator pushed for the marriage registration with his younger brother in a hurry was that he had to register his marriage before he left to study abroad in July to become a legal heir, and if he had a child, his parents had no choice, so they had no choice but to accept it."

"The perpetrator unilaterally blocked all of my brother's SNS on April 22 when everything did not go his way since he was caught by my parents secretly reporting the marriage," he said. "I reported it to the police after hearing a threat from the perpetrator to distribute sex videos."

A, who made the claim, captured some of the Instagram conversations the victim had with a close friend on April 24 and presented evidence of the claim.

Mr. A said, "I still can't forget the day my younger brother's keepsake came back. Not only were the clothes filled with blood, but there were also bags on the cuts here and there. I could see how painfully my younger brother passed away," he said.

"There is only one thing the bereaved family wants. I hope the perpetrator and his parents, who do not shamelessly apologize, are thousands of times more painful than fear and pain when my brother is killed without knowing anything, he said. "But in reality, I can't do that, so I desperately want the death penalty, the highest sentence in the court."

Choi was sentenced to 26 years in prison in the first trial held on the 19th after being accused of stabbing his girlfriend several times on the roof of a building near Gangnam Station in Seoul in May. Choi reported his marriage to the victim in April, and it was investigated that he committed the crime out of spite when the victim's parents demanded that they break up after learning about it.
