JINJU — Prosecutors have requested the death penalty for a YouTuber and singer accused of murdering her teenage daughter, according to the Changwon District Court's Jinju branch. The court announced the request on Thursday following the indictment of the mother in her 40s on charges including murder. Prosecutors allege that the woman beat her daughter with a wooden stick and then poured boiling water over her head at the daughter's home in Namhae, a southern county, last September before leaving her to die in a car.
The prosecution claims the defendant believed her daughter had brought shame to her, emphasizing the need for permanent isolation from society due to her past record of domestic violence. The defense team vehemently denied the murder charge, stating that the defendant had no intent to kill her daughter. The sentencing hearing is set to occur on October 8.
