The Gwangju district court acquitted Kim Shin Hye, 47, who was falsely sentenced to life in prison for murdering her father and disposing of his body in 2000, after a retrial. Ms Kim’s confession, which led to her conviction over two decades ago, could not be used as evidence because she had retracted it, The Korea Herald reported the court as noting. It was unclear if Ms Kim’s father had died from sleeping pills given by the defendant as the autopsy report didn’t indicate the man had taken any type of drug in a large dose, the court ruled, adding that the extremely high blood alcohol content of 0.303 per cent could have been the cause of death.
