The 23-year-old woman in South Korea was obsessed with crime shows and hunted for victims on a tutoring app.

A South Korean court has given a life sentence to a true crime fan who told police she murdered a stranger “out of curiosity”.

Jung Yoo-jung, 23, had been obsessed with crime shows and novels and scored highly on psychopath tests, police said.

Fixated with the idea of “trying out a murder”, she used an app to meet an English-language teacher, stabbing her to death at her home in May.

The brutal killing shocked South Korea.

Prosecutors had asked for the death penalty - a request typically reserved for the gravest of offences.

    Suggesting that her not having a relationship at the age of 23 made her a murderous psychopath…
    - You

        Actually, it is my first language. So you can take your bigoted assumptions and shove 'em. I have enough reading comprehension to recognize that you’re a condescending, miserable denizen of the internet. Blocked.

          Calm down. He might be shining a light on something you don’t want to acknowledge, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

          You’re insulting him for no reason because you don’t like what he’s saying. That’s not conducive to constructive discussion, nor is it the behavior of a respectable adult.

            You’re insulting him for no reason

            Smug condescension about reading comprehension is actually a pretty good reason to insult people - they responded with insults because they were insulted.
