JINJU, South Korea, Sept. 11 (Yonhap) -- Prosecutors have requested the death penalty for a YouTuber mother, who is also a singer, accused of killing her teenage daughter, according to a court announcement on Friday. The Changwon District Court's Jinju branch revealed that the 40-year-old woman has been charged with murder after allegedly assaulting her daughter with a wooden stick and pouring boiling water over her head at their home in Namhae, a southern county, last September.
The victim was left to die in a car following the incident. Prosecutors claimed the mother believed her daughter had brought shame upon her, citing her past record of domestic violence to argue for a permanent isolation from society. The defense team vehemently denied the murder charge, insisting the defendant had no intention of killing her daughter. The sentencing hearing is set to occur on October 8.
