The Prosecution Service has sought the death penalty for A, a 40-year-old female singer and YouTuber accused of assaulting and killing her teenage daughter.

According to NEWS1 on the 10th, during the closing arguments held today at the First Criminal Division of Jinju Branch of Changwon District Court, the Prosecution Service requested that the court sentence A to death on charges including murder.

The Prosecution Service stated, "A was deluded into believing she had been humiliated in her social life because of her daughter, and repeatedly struck B with a wooden beam, pouring boiling water on the top of her head, causing second-degree burns on parts of her body."

It further added, "Despite B pleading multiple times that she was having difficulty breathing, A ignored her pleas. Betrayed by the parents she should have trusted and relied upon most, B died in extreme pain."

The Prosecution Service also explained its reasoning for seeking the death penalty: "A denied the crime and responsibility without any remorse throughout the one-year trial process, making the circumstances highly suspicious. Given her past record of spousal abuse, there is a high risk of recidivism, necessitating permanent separation from society."

A's defense attorney argued, "The Prosecution Service's indictment is based on the autopsy report, but other results could be reached through experiments or circumstantial evidence. Applying murder charges solely based on the expert report is harsh."

The sentencing hearing is scheduled to take place on October 8 at the same court.
