[Asia Economy Reporter Na Yeeun] A mother who caused the death of her daughter with an intellectual disability left a suicide note before attempting an extreme act.

On the 4th, the Siheung Police Station in Gyeonggi Province applied for an arrest warrant for Ms. A (54), who is suspected of killing her daughter.

Ms. A is accused of suffocating her daughter, Ms. B (23, intellectual disability level 3), at their home in Sincheon-dong, Siheung City, around 3 a.m. on the 2nd. Ms. A attempted suicide around 8 a.m. the next day but failed and surrendered to the police, saying, "I killed my daughter."

Ms. A received emergency treatment from the fire department that arrived at the scene and was transferred to a nearby hospital, where she is currently receiving treatment.

Meanwhile, a suicide note written by Ms. A was also found inside the house. The note reportedly contained the message, "In your next life, may you meet good parents."

Ms. A, who is known to be suffering from thyroid cancer, divorced her husband in the past and lived alone with her intellectually disabled daughter. It is reported that they sustained their livelihood through basic living subsidies, part-time job income earned by Ms. B, and disability allowances.

Meanwhile, the pre-arrest detention hearing (warrant review) for Ms. A is scheduled to take place as early as the 5th at the Ansan branch of the Suwon District Court.
