: doki's mother case.

nam-gyu jung was a psychopath, who cruelly killed more than 14 people. he showed no remorse even during the on-site inspection.

when he demonstrated his killing process he still firmly raised his head and showed his smile from beginning to end.

afterward, when asked by a reporter, “aren’t you sorry for the victims?”, he lowered his mask and just smiled.

: 1st case.

tw: rape; pedophilia;

you probably know and remember this heart-breaking case from the movie ‘Hope’, which based on the story of the incident. last year, cho

the officers found the slaves sitting on a mattress in the back room of a storage building with no heat or hot water. kim wore thin, dirty clothes, slippers and socks with big holes. he looked, seo said, like a person who had been homeless for a very long time.
