Man in 50s Sentenced to 10 Months in Prison for Attacking Senior with Blunt Object Over 30,000 Won Debt

The Daegu District Court announced today (August 14) that Judge Kim Dong-seok, presiding over Criminal Single Judge Division 1, has sentenced a man in his 50s, identified as A, to 10 months in prison on charges of special injury for striking his senior in the neighborhood on the head with a blunt object after being asked to repay a borrowed sum of money.

A was put on trial for getting angry and hitting the back of the head of his senior, B, twice with a blunt object found at the scene in the front yard of B's home in Yeongcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, on October 9 of last year, after being told, "Out of the 40,000 won I lent you, give me the 30,000 won you still haven't paid back."

Due to A's attack, B suffered injuries including a scalp laceration that required 14 days of medical treatment.

Judge Kim stated, "We took into consideration factors such as the high potential for severe harm, the fact that the defendant has not been forgiven by the victim, and the fact that he is admitting to the crime."
