SEOUL — A woman who is believed to be related to two children whose remains were found in suitcases in New Zealand is in South Korea, Seoul police told AFP Monday (Aug 22).
Last week, New Zealand police said they had discovered the remains of two children, who are thought to have been between five and 10 years old when they died, in suitcases.
New Zealand police have said the bodies were likely to have been in storage for several years, which has complicated the investigation into the crime. "We confirm that she is in South Korea, and that she is a New Zealand national of Korean descent," an official at the Korean National Police Agency told AFP."New Zealand police are leading this investigation and we intend to cooperate at their request," the official added.
Both the storage unit and property where the suitcases were taken have been thoroughly examined by forensic experts.
