Prosecutors demand death penalty for stabbing rampage suspect


Prosecutors on Wednesday demanded the death penalty for Cho Seon who was indicted for stabbing one man to death and wounding three others near a subway station in southern Seoul last July.

The demand was made during a trial at the Seoul Central District Court.

Cho’s stabbing spree shocked the country and sparked fears of random attacks as all the victims were complete strangers.
