"My Baby Doesn't Drink Formula..." Sales Post Left by Older Sister of Gumi Girl Just Before Neglect

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] In the 'Gumi 3-year-old girl death case,' A (22), the older sister who neglected the child leading to her death, posted a message selling the formula milk the child was drinking just before leaving the child alone in an empty house.

On the 9th, JTBC reported that A posted a formula milk sales post on social media (SNS) on August 8 last year. A wrote, "I am selling formula milk that my baby does not drink," along with information about the formula and the selling price.

A wrote the post and moved out, leaving the child in the empty house around August 10, two days later. It was revealed that eight days later, she gave birth to a child with her remarried husband, and afterward, A did not visit the house where the child was. It was also reported that A had frequently left the child alone for extended periods before.

A was arrested and indicted on charges of neglecting a 3-year-old girl in a villa in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, leading to her death. At the first trial held on the 9th, A admitted to the prosecution's charges that "knowing the child would die if food was not provided, she left the girl alone in the villa in August last year, causing her death by starvation and other causes."

Initially known as the 'mother' of the deceased girl, A was revealed to be the 'older sister' through genetic testing, and the deceased girl's maternal grandmother, B (48), was confirmed to be the biological mother. A's lawyer stated, "At first, A did not admit to being the older sister of the deceased girl, but recently she has been gradually accepting it."

Meanwhile, B, identified as the biological mother of the deceased girl, denied the results of four rounds of genetic testing. Even after the prosecution indicted her, she continues to claim, "I have never given birth to a child." C, A's father and B's husband, also said, "B has never given birth to a child."

The trial for B is scheduled for the 22nd.
