Seniors at a vocational high school in Gwangju were sentenced to prison for abusing their juniors for two years. The seniors beat the juniors with iron pipes and wooden clubs, buried them in sandpits, and wrapped them in plastic bags using cruel methods. The victim became a target of abuse because he was small and introverted. The court considered that the defendants were first-time offenders and were minors at the time of the crime, and that they had received forgiveness from the victim, so they sentenced them to imprisonment or fines without detention.
