The Prosecution Service has requested the death penalty for a 40-year-old female singer and YouTuber, identified as A, who was brought to trial on charges of beating and neglecting her biological daughter to death.

During the closing arguments held on the 10th at the Criminal Division 1 of Jinju Branch of Changwon District Court, the Prosecution Service asked the court to sentence A, who had been arrested and indicted on murder charges, to death.

On that day, the Prosecution Service stated, "A fell into a delusion that she was humiliated during her social life due to her biological daughter, B, and repeatedly struck her with a wooden club, pouring boiling water on the top of her head, causing second-degree burns on parts of her body. Despite B pleading multiple times, 'I can't breathe,' A neglected her. The victim, betrayed by the parents she should have trusted and relied upon most in the world, died amidst extreme pain."

Furthermore, the Prosecution Service explained the grounds for the death penalty request: "Despite committing a cruel and inhumane crime, A has denied the offense and responsibility without showing any remorse throughout the year-long trial. Given her past record of domestic violence against a spouse, the risk of reoffending is high, necessitating permanent social isolation."

It is reported that A has firmly denied the murder charges, arguing that while she regrets delaying the transport of B to the hospital, which led to her death, she had no intent to kill and pleaded for leniency.

Additionally, A's side argued, "Since B had previously reported domestic violence, if she had actually suffered severe beatings, she would have fled or reported it again." They further appealed, "While we acknowledge our fault in missing the golden time for hospital transport, which resulted in our daughter's death, applying murder charges based solely on a forensic report is harsh."

Previously, A was suspected of continuously beating her teenage daughter, B, who was on leave from school, and leaving her in a vehicle until she died last September.

Investigations revealed that B had suffered long-term domestic violence and had previously reported A to the police for domestic abuse. It was determined that A harbored resentment over the breakdown of her de facto marriage due to B's report and had continuously subjected her to verbal abuse and physical violence.

The sentencing hearing is scheduled to take place on the 8th of next month.
