Defendant shall be punished by imprisonment without prison labor for four months.

However, the execution of the above sentence shall be suspended for a period of one year from the date this judgment becomes final and conclusive.

Punishment of the crime

around 18:00 on December 17, 2015, the Defendant was replaced with a gas boiler that was already installed in his residence in Songpa-gu Seoul, Songpa-gu, Seoul.

In this case, the defendant, who has no professional knowledge about gas boiler, had a duty of care to request the replacement of the boiler to a person with a national technical qualification, or to accurately connect the position of the boiler and/or to accurately connect the supply of urban gas.

Nevertheless, the Defendant, who neglected to replace the boiler, discharged the water into the gas pipeline connected to the gas pipeline, and suspended the supply of gas by approximately 1,000 households nearby the above Defendant’s residence.

Accordingly, the defendant interfered with the supply of urban gas by impeding the function of urban gas pipelines by gross negligence of gas users.
