Man jailed for murder of Vietnamese daughter-in-law

A man in his 80s has been sentenced to prison for stabbing his Vietnamese daughter-in-law to death while she was sleeping.
The Seoul Northern District Court on Friday handed down a 25-year prison term for the murder, which took place at her home on June 2.
His daughter-in-law had been naturalized as a Korean citizen, having lived in the country for 10 years since her marriage to his son.
Investigators said he had been aggrieved at his son and daughter-in-law for mistreating him and not giving him more money.
In issuing the sentence the court pointed out that the killer had deliberately planned out the murder, locking the door and preparing the weapon in advance.
The court also said it considered the murder particularly cruel, given that it was carried out in presence of the victim’s young children.
