Young Chul Yoo’s serial murder incidents

A JUDGE in South Korea yesterday sentenced to death a serial murderer who claimed to have killed 26 wealthy pensioners and prostitutes and to have eaten their livers.

Police were able to substantiate 20 of the murders claimed by Yoo Young Chul, 33, who said that he killed out of a hatred for women and the rich.

He bludgeoned his victims to death with a hammer between September 2003 and July this year, dismembered them at his apartment in Seoul, and disposed of most of their bodies in shallow graves near a Buddhist temple.

He said during the hearing that he felt sorry for his victims, but told the court that he would kill a hundred more if he were released. “My actions cannot be justified,” he said. “If we live in a society where people like me can live a good life, there will be another Yoo Young Chul.”

The case has provoked shock in South Korea, anger over the incompe-tence of the police, and a backlash against efforts by politicians to abolish the death penalty.

Young Chul Yoo’s serial murder incidents

“With most of the 20 victims women and the elderly, Yoo’s case is a serious crime that has no parallel in the nation’s history,” the court said in its rul-ing. “We sentenced him to death, having considered his motive, the method of murder and the shock his killing spree gave to the bereaved fam-ilies and to the public, even though he felt sorry for the bereaved families.”

South Korea, like its neighbor, Japan, has a low crime rate by the stan-dards of the industrialized world and the squalid facts of Yoo’s case have caused anguished reflection. Psychiatrists said that, although sane, he suf-fered a personality disorder after being divorced by his wife, who worked as a masseuse, a common cover for prostitution.

She left him while he was in prison for theft, and he lived in poverty for much of his life with his mother. He practiced techniques for killing on dogs.

His human victims were mainly female prostitutes and rich elderly couples, as well as a street vendor. The prosecution said that he was hostile to the rich and that he murdered women because his lover had betrayed him.
