FULL TEXT: A 29-year-old woman was sentenced to life
imprisonment for injuring her husband, ex-husband and family members to receive
insurance money, and fatally burning others.
The Seoul Central District Court yesterday handed down a
life imprisonment sentence to a woman, identified as Uhm, who was arrested on
10 counts of charges including murder and arson.
A panel of judges said in a ruling statement that Uhm had
shown no sign of regret for her cruel acts against her two husbands, family
members and others.
Uhm stabbed her former husband, identified as Lee, in the
eyes after feeding him sleeping pills in a quarrel over his low wages in May,
2001.
She also abused her ex-husband by pouring hot oil on Lee’s
face and received insurance money for his injuries by disguising it as an
accident.
She pocketed a total of 280 million won before her
ex-husband died of complications.
However, she continued to commit further miserable crimes
against her current husband, identified as Lim, who she met in a nightclub
right after her former husband’s death.
Lim also went blind after being stabbed with a sharp
instrument and burned by Uhm, who pocketed about 38 million won in insurance
money.
She also blinded her mother, identified as Kim, 52, and
brother, 29, in July and November 2003, respectively, five months after her
second husband died of burns.
Uhm also set fire to her sister’s house, for fear that her
wrongdoing in pocketing money from the sale of her family’s apartment in
January this year might be revealed.
