[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] A stir has erupted after Mr. A, the husband of Seok (48), the biological mother of a 3-year-old girl found dead in a villa in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, claimed he was unaware of his wife's pregnancy and childbirth.


According to the Gumi Police Station in Gyeongbuk on the 14th, Mr. A stated during a witness investigation that he had no knowledge whatsoever of his wife's pregnancy and childbirth. Although the couple lived in the same villa, the police understood that their relationship was not close, which led to this situation.


Since the 8th, the police deployed three profilers to understand Seok’s criminal actions but have not achieved any significant results.


Seok denies the crime, claiming she did not swap the child born to her daughter Kim (22) with her own child, and even insists that she has never given birth to a daughter.


However, the police confirmed through DNA testing that Seok is the biological mother of the deceased 3-year-old girl and that the child is not Mr. A’s.


Kim gave birth to her daughter on March 8, 2018, and it is estimated that Seok gave birth to a daughter slightly earlier than that. While Kim has a record of giving birth at a maternity hospital in Inui-dong, Gumi, Seok has no birth records at any hospital in the Gumi area.


The police suspect that Seok entrusted the daughter she gave birth to with her eldest daughter, and that the daughter born to the eldest daughter was likely abandoned. They are investigating the possibility of accomplices involved in this process.



Earlier, the police conducted DNA tests on two of Seok’s lovers to find the biological father of the deceased girl, but both were confirmed not to be the father.
