In addition, Sun was accused of fire in his own house in 2005, during which he killed his wife and mother-in-law in order to obtain insurance. Song denied any involvement in the fire. On April 22, 2009, Kang Ho Sung was sentenced to death , but since 1997, in South Korea, there has been an unspoken moratorium on this measure of punishment, which means that most likely the killer will spend the rest of his days behind bars [5] .
