An elderly couple purchased a house in the countryside for their retirement. Because it was an old house, they spent tens of millions of won to repair the drainage and septic systems, and even completed the transfer of ownership registration. However, on moving day, when they arrived with their luggage, the house had been completely demolished by someone, leaving behind only a vacant plot of land.

In the criminal trial for this case, the perpetrator was sentenced to six months in prison suspended for one year. But what happened to the victims' destroyed house? Were they able to receive compensation?
