A Korean woman accused of giving men drug-laced drinks that left two dead told police she never meant to kill anyone, but investigators say her phone records contradict that claim. Police found ChatGPT queries in which Kim So-young asked what happens if someone takes too many sleeping pills and whether a person could die after taking them. Officers say those searches, along with evidence that she later gave a victim more than twice the dose she used in an earlier nonfatal case, support a murder charge because she could foresee the risk of death and proceeded regardless. Prosecutors charged Kim, 20, with murder and aggravated injury, then added a charge under the Narcotics Control Act, while her lawyer says she gave the men the drugs but had no intent to kill and could not foresee the deaths.
