[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Various suspicions continue as the biological mother of a 3-year-old girl who was left alone and died in a villa in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, was belatedly confirmed to be the maternal grandmother. The woman in her 20s, initially known as the biological mother of the 3-year-old girl, gave birth at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, but the whereabouts of the child remain unknown.

According to JTBC on the 12th, A (22), who was revealed to be the deceased girl's sister, gave birth at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic in Gumi, Gyeongbuk.

A posted an ultrasound image of the child on the internet in December 2017, just before giving birth, and reportedly posted pictures of the child on social networking services (SNS) immediately after birth. At that time, A was still living separately but not divorced, so her ex-husband witnessed the entire pregnancy and childbirth process.

Since the mother and daughter both gave birth to daughters around the same time, even A thought the deceased child was her own daughter.

Earlier, A admitted to the crime during police investigation, stating, "I didn't want to see it because it was my ex-husband's child." It is also reported that A's ex-husband did not suspect that the deceased girl was his biological daughter.

The police suspect that B (48), the maternal grandmother, disguised the girl she gave birth to as her granddaughter to hide the fact that she gave birth, swapping her with another child born to her biological daughter A. However, B denies the crime, claiming, "I have never given birth to a daughter."

Meanwhile, A is currently detained on charges of murder and child neglect. A moved out six months ago, leaving the child alone, and the child was found dead on the 10th of last month, six months later.

However, during the police investigation, it was revealed that A and the girl were sisters, and on the 11th, B was also arrested on charges of abducting a minor for hiding the child she gave birth to.
