A woman in her 30s was arrested for abandoning her 6-day-old daughter about five years ago, leading to the infant's death and the disposal of the body.

According to the Gwangju Police Agency on the 8th, the Gwangju District Court issued an arrest warrant for A (in her 30s) on charges of infant abuse resulting in death and corpse abandonment.

A is accused of leaving her 6-day-old baby unattended at her residence in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, in early April 2018, which led to the baby's death.

A told the police that she placed the deceased baby's body in a designated garbage bag and disposed of it in a trash collection bin. She explained that raising the child alone after giving birth was difficult, so she left the baby alone at home and went out; when she returned three hours later, she found the baby covered with a swaddle and deceased.

When A appeared at the Gwangju District Court for the pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant hearing) that day, she remained silent in response to reporters' questions.
