Following the shocking discovery of child bodies in suitcases bought at auction in New Zealand, a 40-year-old suspect has now been extradited from South Korea to the Pacific state. The plane carrying the suspect and various pieces of evidence landed in Auckland on Tuesday.
The woman will appear before a judge on Wednesday, Radio New Zealand reports on Wednesday. The suspect is suspected of double murder. The New Zealander, who was once a South Korean national, was arrested in mid-September in an apartment in the southeastern coastal city of Ulsan. The woman, who may be the mother of the dead children, is said to have entered South Korea in 2018. The Seoul Supreme Court approved the extradition in November.
The bodies of the children, aged between five and 10, were found in suitcases sold at a clearance auction in Auckland, New Zealand, in August. According to police reports, it was possible to identify the victims a short time later and thus locate the woman. According to the police, the suitcases had previously been in a warehouse for three to four years. Police in the South Pacific island state then made the extradition request.
