DAEGU \u2014 A district court sentenced a man to a 45-year prison term Thursday for murdering his mother-in-law and abandoning her body in the southeastern city of Daegu.<\/p>\n

The Daegu District Court handed down the sentence to Cho Jae-bok, 26, for murdering the 54-year-old victim in March at his home in the city located some 250 kilometers southeast of Seoul. He was also convicted of throwing away the victim’s body in a suitcase.<\/p>\n

The court noted that the victim had faced repeated violence that left her unable to even speak by the time of her murder.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors had sought a life sentence for Cho, who was also charged with abusing, monitoring and financially controlling his wife and mother-in-law.<\/p>\n
