11-month-old nephew throws it on the 24th floor and "Annaxa"...Auntie's appeal trial is also "15 years in prison" [Now News]

In May last year, A (43) who threw his 11-month-old nephew out of the window on the 24th floor of an apartment building in Daegu and killed him was sentenced to 15 years in prison at the appeal trial.

The Daegu High Court Criminal Department 1 (Chief Judge Jung Sung-wook) rejected both the prosecutor's and the defendant's appeals on the 9th and maintained the original sentence.

"The defendant was mentally and physically weak due to depression and is a first-time offender and is reflecting on his wrongdoings, but he took into account the brutal killing of an 11-month-old child who was not able to defend himself and the bereaved families petitioning for severe punishment in pain that is difficult to recover for life," the court said. "The original sentence cannot be considered too heavy or light."

At the time of the crime, A asked the child's mother to "hug her nephew" and was handed the child, and locked the door while her mother was away for a while and committed the crime.

After the crime, A said, "I tried to euthanize my nephew," and the investigation revealed a history of receiving drug treatment for anti-social personality disorder (psychopath) tendencies and depression.
