A man who strangled his brother to aid his suicide attempt was given four years in prison by the Busan district court, Sunday.
The convicted 57-year-old and his 55-year-old brother had drunk herbicide to kill themselves amid financial hardship.
The two men made two attempts -- one on Oct. 15 and then two days later on Oct. 17 – but survived the poisoning both times. During the second try the younger brother reportedly suffered physical pain and breathing difficulties that prompted the older sibling to “help end his life,” after which the younger man died.
