In season 2 of "My Sister-in-law", we track the case that was controversial about whether murder was possible with live octopus.
Lawyer Jung Jae-min and Kim Nam-il, former judges, will appear in the 30th episode of the E-channel original web entertainment "Hyeongsu Da" Season 2 (hereinafter referred to as "Hyeongsu Da 2"), which will be released on YouTube channel "Detectives' Chat" on the 27th.
The broadcast on this day begins with lawyer Jung Jae-min, "Today's Eating Detective," recommending fresh octopus to the cast. The case to be introduced later is also related to live octopus, and there was a great controversy over whether it was possible to kill it with live octopus. Kwon Il-yong also recalls, "There was an incident that came to mind as soon as I heard it, and there was a lot of controversy."
The incident began early one morning with an urgent call from a man who asked for an ambulance at the motel's front desk, saying, "My girlfriend is not breathing." After the report, the boyfriend rushed to the front desk and asked for help again, and when he went up to the room with the employee, the girlfriend was lying unconscious near the door. The boyfriend was taken to a nearby hospital by an ambulance that arrived while he was carrying his girlfriend outside the motel, and his breathing was restored, but he eventually fell unconscious. The boyfriend claimed that while playing games while drinking nearby, his girlfriend drank a lot as a penalty drink, and that he suddenly giggled and did not breathe while he was drinking after wrapping up live octopus to do the second round. However, the motel employee testified that he wondered that there was a large towel and a whole octopus next to his girlfriend who had fallen, and that there was another cut-off raw octopus and another whole octopus in seawater on one side.
However, the insurance certificate that arrived after the death of his girlfriend raised doubts. The recipient of the insurance money was his boyfriend, and the amount of the insurance money was 200 million won, not 50 million won that he told his family. The boyfriend claimed that he was in a critical condition, so he tried to receive the insurance money instead, and that the insurance broker seemed to have arbitrarily increased the amount. Ahn Jung-hwan and Kim Nam-il were angry, saying, "It's ridiculous." The investigation revealed that the incident occurred less than a month after signing up for insurance, and that the recipient was already a boyfriend, not a change. The boyfriend was found to have paid insurance premiums even while his girlfriend was living and dying, and contacted the insurance company directly to ask whether he could receive insurance money in case of death and whether to return it if his parents sued.
The biggest issue in the case was whether murder was possible with live octopus. The first trial court noted that the girlfriend did not eat tough food due to severe tooth loss due to dental caries. The boyfriend claimed that his girlfriend ate live octopus and took the octopus out of his mouth in front of the motel employee, but this turned out to be not true. If it were an accident caused by eating live octopus, the boyfriend could be innocent. Two out of three forensic scientists found it difficult to remove the live octopus from the mouth to the outside, and the victim's cause of death was estimated to be an acetabular obstruction caused by compression.
At that time, the boyfriend was a credit delinquent and had a lot of debt, but it was also revealed that he told people that a lot of money would come in soon. After receiving the actual insurance money, it was revealed that he liquidated his debt, provided a house for his family, and presented a car to another girlfriend who was wearing both legs. In response, the first trial court sentenced him to life imprisonment, but the case was completely overturned six months later when the second trial ruled him not guilty. Ahn Jung-hwan, who heard the whole story of the case, reportedly told lawyer Jeong Jae-min, who recommended octopus in the beginning, "I won't eat octopus again!" The truth about what was the reason for the completely overturned ruling and what role live octopus played in the case is revealed in "Hyeongsu Da 2."
Meanwhile, 'Hyeongsu Da 2' can be found every Friday at 7 p.m. on the YouTube channel 'Detectives' Chat'. In addition, "Brave Detectives 4," which shares the world view with "Hyeongsuda 2," airs every Friday night at 9:50 p.m., and is also released on major OTTs such as Netflix, TVing, and Wave.
