Korean Gangster Infects Himself with HIV, Released, Reimprisoned
In Busan, a gangster doing life who was let out of prison for treatment after he intentionally infected himself with HIV is back in the pen just a month and a half later for violating the terms of his release.
The 46-year-old former underboss of the Busan-based Yutae gang, identified as Mr. Kim, was sentenced to life in 2002 for instigating murder. Figuring that life with AIDS on the outside was better than life inside, he began several attempts to contract HIV from an AIDS patient who was imprisoned at the same pen.
From Yonhap News Agency:
Following a series of bizarre acts, including cutting his arm and the AIDS patient’s arm and placing them together, drinking the patient’s semen and injecting syringes of the patient’s blood into his arm, he succeeded in infecting himself when he tested positive for HIV.
Kim believed an HIV treatment was just around the corner, and that if he didn’t develop a full-blown case of AIDS right away, he’d be fine. Police, however, suspected he’d infected himself intentionally, and actually added charges.
Afterwards, Kim was moved from prison to prison until he developed a serious fever in February. He was diagnosed with AIDS-related tuberculosis, designated an AIDS patient and sent to a hospital in Busan — where he had family — for three months of treatment.
For the most part, he did his best to comply with treatment, but now finally on the outside, Kim couldn’t resist taking a trip to his old stomping ground in Busan’s Dong-gu neighborhood (or at least that’s where people believe he went)… without telling his parole officer first.
So on April 15, back to jail he went. Police don’t believe he engaged in additional criminal activity during his excursion, however.
