[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Nayeon] Local media reported that the father of the children found dead in a suitcase in New Zealand had already died of cancer one year before the mother left Korea.

On the 27th, New Zealand media Stuff, reporting on the local police investigation, stated that the deceased children were a girl and a boy, born in 2009 and 2012 respectively, in Auckland to parents originally from Seoul.

However, it has not yet been confirmed when and how the children were killed or whether the whereabouts of the woman in Korea have been identified.

Stuff reported that the children's father died of cancer at the end of 2017, and although his parents lived in Auckland, it is unclear if they still do.

Earlier, New Zealand police requested cooperation from Korean police to locate the woman presumed to be the mother of the deceased children.

In response, the police stated that based on an arrest warrant issued for the woman on charges of serious crimes, they plan to actively cooperate with Interpol's red notice request regarding confirmation of the woman's residence.

Meanwhile, New Zealand police announced that they confirmed the identities of the children the day before and are continuing the investigation into the circumstances leading to the children's deaths.

However, the police said that at the family's request, a non-disclosure order on the children's identities was issued, so names and ages were not disclosed.
