Serial rapist jailed for life
<!-- by line --> <!-- end by line --> SEOUL - A SOUTH Korean court on Tuesday sentenced a wedding planner to life in jail for the rape of at least 32 women, most of whom he attacked after breaking into their apartments in the early hours. The court in the central city of Cheongju found the 45-year-old man, identified only by his surname Choi, guilty of carrying out the attacks in the city over a six year period, court authorities said. Choi targeted single women living in studio apartments after climbing up gas pipes in the early morning. His unsuspecting wife believed he was going to work. 'The accused continued his double life for a long time, committing crimes at dawn and working during the day,' the court said in a statement, adding that Choi had shown no remorse. Police had difficulty tracking him down as he left little DNA evidence at the scene of the attacks and concealed his identity by covering his victims' faces with blankets while raping them. He was arrested in July last year after a police stakeout lasting more than 100 days. -- AFP
