30s Mother Arrested for Killing Two Infants and 'Refrigerating' Them

Two Infants Murdered and Stored in Refrigerator Discovered
Waived Detention Hearing, Decision Made Through Written Review

A woman in her 30s who killed two infants and stored their bodies in a refrigerator has been detained. On the 23rd, Chief Judge Cha Jin-seok of the Suwon District Court, responsible for warrant hearings, issued an arrest warrant for Ms. A on charges of infant homicide. Chief Judge Cha stated, "There is sufficient evidence of the crime, and there is a risk of flight."

Earlier, Ms. A waived her right to the substantive warrant hearing scheduled for 2:30 PM that day. Accordingly, the court decided on her detention solely through a written review without a separate hearing.

Ms. A is accused of giving birth to and killing infants in November 2018 and November 2019, respectively, and storing the bodies in a refrigerator inside an apartment in Suwon City where she lived. Having three children, Ms. A reportedly committed the crimes after becoming pregnant amid financial difficulties. The bodies, wrapped in plastic, were discovered in the refrigerator during a police investigation.
