Heavy sentence given to woman in her 30s who murdered a fellow nursery school mom in a karaoke bar in South Korea

A woman in her 30s was sentenced to a heavy sentence for assaulting and killing a man she had become close with at a parent-teacher meeting for her child's nursery school because the man said "let's go home" while hanging out at a karaoke bar.
On the 29th, the Changwon District Court announced that it had sentenced Defendant A (female, in her 30s), who was indicted on charges of murder, to 17 years in prison.
On June 16th of last year, at around 10:45 pm, Defendant A attacked the head and face of his acquaintance, Ms. B (female, in her 30s), at a karaoke bar in Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province.
He was on trial for allegedly hitting the victim multiple times with a fire extinguisher and a microphone, causing her death. The two met at a parent-teacher meeting for the child's nursery school in 2018, and met once or twice a month, drinking alcohol.
They became close while drinking. On the day of the incident, defendant A was drinking with Ms. B at a restaurant, then moved to a karaoke bar and while they were drinking, Ms. B said, "Let's go home," even though Defendant A wanted to have more fun.
The investigation revealed that the crime was committed after an argument over a man's sexual assault. While receiving treatment at the hospital, Mr. B died of a traumatic cerebral hemorrhage four days after the crime.
At the time, the National Forensic Service, which performed the autopsy on B's body, stated in the autopsy report, "We do not know what the relationship between the victim and the assailant was, but
"Is it possible to beat someone to death so brutally?" Defendant A stated in court that he was so drunk that he could not remember the circumstances of the crime well, and that he had no intention of murder and was not mentally unstable.
However, the court did not accept this. The court stated, "Taking the evidence into consideration, it appears that the attack was focused on the head and face at the time of the crime, and the attack was likely to have been carried out in a manner that was inappropriate for the murder victim.
"Definite and indirect intent against a person can be recognized," he said, adding, "Although he was drunk at the time of the crime, he asked the karaoke store staff for more free time, and immediately after the crime,
Considering the fact that she urged him to call an ambulance, it is difficult to judge that she had lost consciousness. In addition, "B's child has not yet sent a message to B's mobile phone looking for his mother.
"The method of the crime was extremely merciless and cruel, and yet defendant A has not offered any consolation or forgiveness to B's family.
"We took into consideration the fact that he did not make a serious effort to do so," he said, explaining the reason for the sentence.
