Park Dae-sung, who killed a teenage girl with a weapon in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, denied some charges in the second trial.

On the 26th, the Gwangju District Court held a second hearing on Park Dae-sung, who was arrested and charged with murder and preliminary murder.

Park Dae-sung's lawyer admitted to the murder following the first trial, but repeatedly denied the indictment that he had visited bars and karaoke bars after the crime to prepare for additional murder, saying, "It is difficult to determine if there was a purpose of murder because I cannot remember because I was drunk (blackout)."

The court said to Park, "I understand the purpose of not remembering because I drank, but whether it was intentional or purposeful is another matter," adding, "I will refer to it if you give me an opinion on legal or factual matters."The next trial against

Park will be held at the same court at 5 p.m. on the 10th of next month (December).

According to the prosecution's earlier indictment, Park chased A, who was walking on a road in Jeongwon-dong, Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do, 800 meters, and wielded a weapon to death at around 0:42 a.m. on September 26. After the crime, Park tried to kill only women who ran the business alone for the purpose of secondary murder with a weapon.

He was found to have planned to commit the murder twice, including hiding a weapon and stopping by a bar to order alcohol or entering a karaoke room and calling the owner to his room.
