Life Sentence for Kim So-young in "Gangbuk Motel Serial Murders" First Trial..."Intent to Kill Recognized"

Kim So-young, who was indicted for the Gangbuk motel serial murder case, has been sentenced to life imprisonment in the first trial.

The 14th Criminal Division of the Seoul Northern District Court sentenced Kim, who faces charges including murder, to life imprisonment and ordered the attachment of an electronic tracking bracelet for 30 years.

Previously, during the sentencing hearing, the prosecution stated, "She is showing no remorse for her crimes," and demanded the death penalty for Kim, along with a 30-year electronic monitoring bracelet attachment and probation.

Kim was indicted and detained on charges of handing drinks laced with drugs to three men in their 20s from mid-December of last year to February of this year, resulting in the deaths of two and leaving one unconscious.

Additionally, she was further indicted last April on charges of injuring three other men using a similar method.
