Father gets 22 years for beating teen daughter to death

A Chinese man in his 40s was sentenced to 22 years in prison by an appellate court in South Korea for beating his 14-year-old daughter to death with a blunt object. The Suwon High Court overturned a previous 18-year sentence, citing the extreme cruelty of the attack and the fact that the victim was killed by someone who should have protected her. The court emphasized that the method of the crime—striking the girl over 25 times on the back of the head with a metal hammer—was exceptionally brutal and could not be justified under any circumstances. The judges rejected arguments that the crime was impulsive or motivated by disciplinary intentions, stating that proper methods like dialogue should have been used. The defendant was arrested after the incident occurred in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, on October 19. The case highlights the severity of domestic violence and the legal consequences for such acts.
