The wife of a former chairman of a mid-size company, convicted of a contract murder of a female college student, has been found to have faked illness to stay out of prison.
The 68-year-old Yoon had been convicted of contract murder and was sentenced to life time in prison for contracting the murder of a college student in 2002 who was having an affair with her son-in-law.
The contracted killer, a 52-year-old Kim, dragged the collegian to a mountain in Hanam in Gyeonggi Province and shot her six times.
He reportedly received 170 million won ($150,000) for the contract. Yoon was divorced from her husband in May 2007.
While in prison, she complained of illness _ from breast cancer to Parkinson’s _ and spent two years in a high-end health facility on a suspended sentence.
But the facility confirmed that the woman did not actually suffer from the diseases and was sent back to prison.
