South Korean Man Sentenced to Life for Fatal Rampage

Choi Won-jong, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, convicted of murder for attack that killed two and injured 12.

23-year-old Choi Won-jong was convicted of murder for a car-and-stabbing rampage in Seongnam, South Korea, that resulted in two deaths and 12 injuries.
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty, but Judge Kang Hyun-koo sentenced Won-jong to life in prison, citing his mental health issues.
Won-jong, who suffers from schizoaffective disorder, believed he was being secretly watched by a gang of stalkers.
The court ordered Won-jong to wear an electronic tracking device for 30 years, as he is seen as a potential risk for committing similar crimes in the future.
Following the incident, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol increased law enforcement presence in crowded areas and expanded social media and online message board monitoring to detect threats.
