Ms. A is suspected of killing her first newborn son, B, at her home in Dobong-gu, Seoul, in early September 2012, and then burying and abandoning his body in a nearby mountain.

Her charges do not end there. She is also suspected of killing her second newborn son, C, at her home in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, in mid-October 2015, and abandoning his body on Munhak Mountain.

It has been determined that Ms. A, who had been living with her mother, left the house for several months at a time by making excuses to her mother whenever her belly grew due to pregnancy. It was confirmed that neither the unmarried mother nor her mother, with whom she had been living, were aware of her crimes.

During the police investigation, Ms. A said, "It is true that I had financial difficulties and the burden of raising children," and "The fathers of my two sons are different men whom I met briefly, so I do not know exactly who they are."

Ms. A recently felt pressured when the Yeonsu District Office in Incheon conducted a full investigation of unregistered children born between 2010 and 2014, and she turned herself in to the police on the 9th. The police investigation revealed that neither of Ms. A’s two sons had been registered at birth. In particular, only B had a temporary newborn number, while C was not assigned one at all.

Ms. A, who is in custody, confessed during the initial investigation about how she killed her first son, B. However, she did not provide specific details about the circumstances of the second son C’s death.

In a recent additional investigation, she stated, "I was discharged from the maternity hospital two days after giving birth and brought the second child home, but he cried severely, so I gave him juice," and "He choked and died from respiratory distress."

Based on Ms. A’s statement, the police judged that not only the killing of the first son but also the act of feeding juice instead of breast milk to the newborn second son and neglecting his respiratory distress constituted 'murder with implied intent.' However, only the murder charge, which has no statute of limitations, was applied to Ms. A, while the charge of abandoning a corpse, which has a seven-year statute of limitations and had already expired, was not applied.

Based on Ms. A’s confession, the police found the remains of the second son, C, on Munhak Mountain in Incheon on the afternoon of the 10th. They have continued to search the entrance of Dobongsan Mountain in Seoul, where the first son B’s body was buried, but are facing difficulties due to significant changes in the terrain over the past 11 years.

The police plan to continue searching for B’s body until today and will consider whether to continue the search in the future.

A police official said, "Since the crime occurred 11 years ago, it is possible that B’s body was damaged by wild animals or moved by rain," and "After sending the suspect to the prosecution tomorrow, we will internally discuss whether to conduct additional searches."
