Ana Taylor-Joy, Reese Witherspoon unveil new crime thriller ‘Lucky’ in Los Angeles

A crime drama-obsessed South Korean woman who killed a woman “out of curiosity” was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The court pronounced the judgment on Friday (Nov 24) even as the prosecutors sought the death penalty.

Jung Yoo-jung, 23, who is a loner and lives with her grandfather, has been looking for targets for months using a tutoring app. She wanted to try out murder after reading it about in novels and watching a lot of crime mystery shows.

<h2>Looked for potential victims though an app</h2>

In May, she tried the app and set up a meeting with an English-language tutor. She posed as a mother of a high school kid and met the 26-year-old woman in Busan.

According to police, she mainly preferred females and went over 50 potential victims asking for lessons at home,&nbsp;before finalising on the 26-year-old.

On that fateful day, Yoo-jung landed up at the tutor’s home dressed in a school uniform in Busan. She then stabbed the victim over 100 times, continuing even after she was already dead.

She then mutilated the victim’s body, packed parts of it into a suitcase, and changed into the victim’s clothes, Korea JoongAng Daily, the English edition of a major South Korean newspaper, reported citing the police.

She then took a taxi and dumped it in a wooded area by a river, leaving other parts of the body in her own home.

A taxi driver, who drove her to the area where she dumped the body, later tipped off the police after spotting blood stains on her clothes.

<h2>Tax driver tipped off&nbsp;</h2>

During the investigation, police searched Jung's online browsing history which showed she had researched for months on how to kill somebody.

There were also CCTV cameras which captured the moment she entered and left the tutor’s place serval times. Police said that she was careless and made no effort to dodge the CCTV.

During interrogation, Yoo-jung tried to dodge several times before eventually confessing to the crime in June.

On Friday, the Busan District Court judge said the killing had "spread fear in society that one can become a victim for no reason" and "incited a general distrust" among the community, reports BBC.

Jung pleaded for a more lenient sentence, saying she had suffered hallucinations and other mental disorders at the time.

However, the court rejected her argument as the crime had been "carefully planned and carried out, and it is difficult to accept her claim of mental and physical disorder".

Crime drama-obsessed South Korean woman who murdered ‘out of curiosity’ jailed for life

Steven Knight, the creator of the popular show ‘Peaky Blinders’ is talking about his anticipated&nbsp;spinoff film of the much-loved franchise. In&nbsp;a recent interview, Steven&nbsp;spoke about how the film is taking shape, and from the sound of it, production may kick off as soon as Knight is about to complete the script, Collider.com reported.

In the interview, Knight said, "Yes, I’m writing it right now. I’m nearly done writing it, and we’re going to shoot it… I’m setting up some film and television studios in Digbeth in Birmingham."&nbsp;

Knight had a historical motive for picking the locations for the shoot. As it is believed that the real-life Peaky Blinders, who served as the show's inspiration, wandered the locales. "We’re going to shoot it at the studios in Digbeth, and on location in Digbeth in Birmingham. Digbeth and Small Heath is where the Peaky Blinders actually roamed. So it’s like Peaky’s coming home basically."

During the interview, Knight confirmed his original commitment of starting the shoot in 2023 by saying that the it will begin in the next 18 months, which puts the project on schedule. While the details about the film are very limited due to the time it has for release, it looks like this will serve as a befitting closing curtain on the Shelby family and their gang. However, Knight hinted in the interview that the film would include a slew of familiar and beloved characters, as well as a slew of new ones.

‘Peaky Blinders' has developed quite a fan base since it was first launched, and audiences have witnessed a never-before-seen crime boss as Tommy Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, and his street gang. It is the most adored British drama of recent times. The show, throughout its runtime, received a lot of praise and critical acclaim. It&nbsp;won the Best Drama Series BAFTA award in 2018.

The British television show was based on the real eponymous street gang that followed Shelby's ambitious leadership of the group as it sought to spread its roots outside of Birmingham. ‘Peaky Blinders’ most-awaited season six was also successful, and all its seasons and episodes can be streamed on Netflix.

Knight also talked about wanting to share his work experience with the community that made it all possible. "But I’m just really looking forward to having a Peaky event where people can watch it communally," he said.

"I mean, the social media community is so strong and people talk to each other. But to actually be together physically will be really interesting."
