KRProsecutors in South Korea have requested the death penalty for Jang Yoon-gi, who is on trial for the murder of a 17-year-old girl in Gwangju. According to the indictment, Jang attempted to abduct Lee Chae-won for sexual assault before fatally stabbing her on May 5. He also injured a male student who intervened to help her. Jang has admitted to the charges and faces multiple counts, including murder during an attempted rape and preparing to commit murder. Additionally, he is accused of raping a foreign coworker and secretly filming teenage girls in his role as a social service worker. Lee's family, supported by a petition with around 50,000 signatures, is urging the court to impose the harshest possible punishment. The trial is expected to conclude with a verdict on September 30.
