  1. 47 years after Park Chung-hee's assassination, verdict in Kim Jae-gyu retrial due within two months

    Oct 26 marks the 47th anniversary of the assassination of South Korean President Park Chung-hee. The Hankyoreh reported that a court will rule in less than two months in the retrial of former Korean Central Intelligence Agency director Kim Jae-gyu, who killed Park and was convicted of murder for the purpose of insurrection. Since the retrial formally began in July last year, the key question has been whether his act can be deemed a riot aimed at insurrection; prosecutors asked for the retrial claim to be dismissed at closing arguments on Sept 30, while the defence argued he had no such aim.
