Kim Soyoung, the defendant, was indicted on charges of killing three men in their 20s with drugs from December last year to February this year and injuring three others. The prosecution argued that Kim continued her crimes during the investigation and that she took the lives of the victims after expressing affection for them, judging that the nature of the crime was extremely bad, and sought the death penalty, the maximum sentence in court. Kim denied the intent to kill and claimed that she gave drugs for reasons related to her past experience as a victim of sexual assault, but the prosecution emphasized that Kim's statement was false and that there was no sign of remorse. The victims' side criticized Kim's claim as 'degrading secondary damage' and demanded the death penalty. The first instance verdict will be handed down on the afternoon of the 27th.
