'Arrest Warrant for 20s Biological Mother of Infant Found in Closet in Gwanak-gu... Decision on Issuance Today'

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The Gwanak Police Station in Seoul announced on the 24th that it has applied for arrest warrants for Jeong Mo, a woman in her 20s who is the biological mother of an infant found dead inside a wardrobe, and Kim Mo, her cohabitant.

The Seoul Central District Court will hold a pre-arrest detention hearing for them at 3 p.m. today.

According to the police, they are suspected of neglecting and abandoning the two-month-old infant, leading to the infant's death (infant abuse resulting in death).

When the landlord, unable to contact the tenants for some time, visited the house on the 20th, they found the infant's body inside a cardboard box in the wardrobe and reported it to the police.

The police requested an autopsy of the infant's body and arrested and investigated the suspects in Busan on the 22nd.

The autopsy revealed that the body was decomposed to the extent that the cause of death could not be clearly determined.

A police official stated, "There is no evidence indicating that the child was intentionally caused to die, so murder charges were not applied."
