A Sydney-based taekwondo instructor, Kwang Kyung Yoo, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the tragic murder of a 7-year-old student and the child’s parents. The judge, Justice Ian Harrison, highlighted Yoo’s jealousy towards the family’s financial success as the motive behind the brutal crimes. Yoo, who had no prior criminal record, had strangled the boy and his mother in his martial arts academy, later stabbing the father at their home. Despite his remorse and attempts to cover up his actions, Yoo’s sentencing was met with emotional reactions from the victims’ family and supporters in court.
