A mother who threw her six-month-old baby out of an apartment window, killing the child, has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

The twenty-year-old mother killed her six-month-old daughter by throwing her out of a window on the 15th floor of an apartment in Geumho-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju, on December 3 last year.

At the time, she had a deep-rooted conflict with her husband due to economic problems, including other issues. She committed the crime in rage after her husband left the house and did not return following a marital dispute.

Her defense attorney pleaded for leniency, noting that the defendant committed the crime while in an abnormal mental state, receiving psychiatric treatment.

Her husband also expressed willingness to plead for her compassion in court, acknowledging his partial culpability.

The court stated, “Despite being a mother with a responsibility to protect and raise her child, she brutally killed her six-month-old daughter, warranting a severe punishment.” However, the court also noted, “There were some mitigating factors, such as her suffering from depression and the husband’s accountability in the motive for the crime, which were reflected in the sentencing.

Would've sentenced her to chase after the child... Too late to 'race' the child.

Husband's accountability?! For what? Pissing her off? Everybody will get off lightly if they can lay it off on somebody else, husband did nothing to the baby, she did and she should carry that all by herself.

She gets off lightly by saying "Look what you made me do".

I think Asian culture is so repressed in sharing emotions that when they snap they really snap.
