The 5-year-old girl Z was suspected of being tortured to death by her father and stepmother, and her 8-year-old brother X was also suspected of being abused. The father and stepmother were charged with murder, and the stepmother involved in the case was also charged with 4 counts of cruel treatment of children.

The case has been tried for more than one month. After the judge led a jury composed of 4 women and 3 men in the High Court this morning (12th), the jury began to withdraw from the court for discussion, but after about 6 hours of discussion, they still failed to reach a verdict on the case. , The judge then instructed the jury to rest and continue tomorrow.

Three defendants: male defendant (30 years old, shipping worker, hereinafter referred to as father), the biological father of boy X and girl Z involved; female defendant (30 years old, housewife, hereinafter referred to as stepmother), male defendant The second wife, the stepmother of the younger brothers and sisters; the third defendant (56 years old, accounting clerk, hereinafter referred to as: stepmother), is the mother of the defendant.

The father and stepmother were charged with one count of murder, alleging that they murdered girl Z on January 6, 2018.

The two denied the murder, but pleaded guilty to manslaughter, which was not accepted by the prosecution.

In addition, the father and stepmother have pleaded guilty to two crimes of cruel treatment of children.

The grandmother denied four counts of cruel treatment of children, accusing her of deliberately torturing and neglecting Girl Z and Boy X from August 10, 2017 to January 6, 2018.

X and Z were 8 and 5 years old at the time of the incident.

The judge pointed out that if the jury found that the father and stepmother had intent to commit the crime and their actions constituted Z's death, they would be convicted of murder.

If the jury finds that there are no relevant elements in the case, it should rule that the murder is not guilty and consider manslaughter instead, including whether it involves the illegal killing of Z or whether Z caused her death due to serious negligence.

If the jury believes that Z's death has no causal relationship with the actions of his father and stepmother, it should rule that manslaughter is not guilty.

As for the charge of the grandmother, the judge quoted the grandmother's claim, including that she had prevented her father from hitting X and the time at home was limited.

The defense also pointed out that even though the grandmother beat her younger brother and sister, she did not reach the level of accusation.
